A PREGNANT mom was “stabbed 20 times in the face and stomach” and her online lover has since been charged with murder.

Delgado has also been charged with second-degree murder following Killian’s unborn child’s death.
He remains in custody on a $1million bond.
Delgado’s charges come one week after the Killian’s gruesome killing – she was found dead on the street in a suspected homicide just a day after she went missing on Thanksgiving.
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney Tim Lohmar said: “This was not a random act of violence.
“It was a targeted act of violence.”

Lohmar dubbed the incident a “a very, very violent killing.”
He explained: “There has to be some motive out there; at this point we don’t know what that is.
“The person who could tell us that is the defendant and so far he’s chosen not to do so.”
Prosecutors also revealed that Killian and Delgado decided to meet in person after speaking through Text Now – an app which later assisted in police identifying the suspect.
