Lisa Montgomery, who had faked being pregnant, is due to be put to death by lethal injection for killing 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett in December 2004.
Mrs Stinnett was pregnant with her first child when Montgomery lured the victim to her home, where she strangled the mum-to-be with a rope and hacked the baby from her womb with a kitchen knife.
A doctor who testified at Montgomery’s trial said Mrs Stinnett, who was eight months pregnant, was probably still alive when the killer started removing her baby, a girl named Victoria Jo who miraculously survived.
