The seventh and last person in the first row was
a pregnant woman. The soldier thought he might as
well rape her before killing her, so he pulled
her out of the group to a spot about ten meters
away. As he was trying to rape her, the woman
resisted fiercely ... The soldier abruptly
stabbed her in the belly with a bayonet. She gave
a final scream as her intestines spilled out.
Then the soldier stabbed the fetus, with its
umbilical cord clearly visible, and tossed it
aside.
