A husband who hurried his pregnant wife to the hospital was stabbed to death by villains who led her to give birth while he was dying next to her.
Talent Gono, 34, and his wife Lilian, 33, were ambushed outside their house In Cape Town, South AfricaWith criminals who hit talent and put him in the chest and head.
The gang of eight attacked because talent was wearing the overnight stays of his pregnant wife to a Uber to go to the hospital.
The shock of seeing the blood soaked body of her husband made sure that Lilian's water broke and she gave birth to a daughter, a few moments before he died.
Local residents of the municipality of Joe Slovo were too afraid to leave their houses to help her, so that she had to lie on the street alone and her newborn baby beside her killed husband.
Talent, a welder, has been saving for three years and had enough money to start a new life in his native Zimbabwe and would leave with his family in April.
UK Wildlife artist Carol Cook, who knows the couple, sold a painting to support them. The proceeds paid for the equipment of Talent to start a future welding company.
Lilian has now been left to support their daughter Mia, 5, and newborn daughter only mentioned talent when the South African police chase the murderers.

To save money, Lilian works as a girl and her employer Jeannie Ross set up a Back A Buddy campaign to raise money for the funeral.
Jeannie said: 'I got a voice of Lilian screaming and sobbing in shock and confusion and said she had gone to the Uber with talent.
“A group of criminals attacked him in the dark and hit him mercilessly and stuck him in the head, belly and chest and left him in a puddle of blood.
'Lilian tried to help, but was overtaken by burning pain when her waters broke and there were next to her dying husband, she gave their baby girl. Their babies first cried filled the night just when he breathed his last breath.
“Lilian is now confronted with an unimaginable road that raises two children without the man who was their anchor, so I try to raise money to help.”
Toni Tresadern, 68, a family friend of Lilian and talent who runs a place of safety for Children Charity, said: “What happened was completely terrible.
“They hit him on the floor with a bone instrument and then repeatedly put it down and while he was dying, his wife gave birth on the floor next to him.”
Mrs. Tresadern added: 'Talent died a few seconds after she was born. The criminals walked away and looked back laughing. They had taken a life for an old phone and the baby bag that would go to the hospital with Lilian.
