Couple charged over pregnant North Dakota woman's death

29 August 2017 US & Canada

A couple in North Dakota are facing murder charges over allegations they killed a pregnant woman to claim her baby as their own.

Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, 22, was eight months pregnant when she went missing on 19 August.

Her body was found by kayakers in the Red river on Sunday, wrapped in plastic and trapped by a log, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.

Her death has been preliminarily ruled a homicide, according to Fargo police.
