Sadith Martinez, 27, was sentenced to 35 years in prison for murdering her pregnant cousin, Luz Neida Betin Valdovino, 22, in Colombia. Martinez lured Valdovino to a remote area, induced labor, and then killed her to steal the baby. Martinez had pretended to be pregnant for months, posting on social media to maintain the deception. After the murder, she claimed to have given birth prematurely, but locals became suspicious and alerted authorities. The newborn, named Milagro, is now in the care of social workers. This case follows a similar incident in Brazil, where a pregnant teen was also murdered for her baby.
