The newborn baby boy who had his mother ripped out before he was murdered in a suburb of Chicago, has opened his eyes for the first time. The incredible event occurred when her father carried the boy in her arms, according to multiple sources.

The newborn was forcibly removed from the womb of his mother, Marlen Ochoa-López when she was attracted, apparently under deceit, by a woman and her daughter who strangled her and then took the baby out.

A photo that circulates widely on networks shows the little Yovanny Jadiel in the arms of his father, Yovani López, who tenderly looks at the minor. The photo was taken this Sunday by Cecilia García, a young student pastor apprentice.

"We were just praying and praying and he opened his eyes, and his father said: 'Oh my God, he opened his eyes!'" Garcia told CNN. "We have been blessed, although this is a very bad tragedy, they are such a loving and humble family and what happened is very bad," added the young woman.

The disappearance of Ochoa-López, which occurred on April 23, generated an intense search that culminated on May 16 when the remains of the 19-year-old Hispanic mother were found in a trash can at the back of the house occupied by these women., who have been arrested along with an alleged accomplice.

The young mother - who had another older child, named Joshua, who remains with her relatives - was in the ninth month of gestation and apparently went to the house to pick up clothes that someone, whom she met on Facebook, was going to give away. That was the last time she was heard from.

At the same time, reports indicate that the day of his disappearance, a bloody woman came out of the house where her remains were found saying that she had just "had a baby."

Spokesmen for the fire department confirmed a call made to 911 from the home where the body was found, reporting that someone "46 years old" had given birth and that the baby was pale and bluish and was not breathing, according to audio obtained by the WLS station. The newborn was taken to Christ Medical Center hospital in a "serious" condition.

Last Friday, Chicago police spokesmen revealed the arrest of Clarisa Figueroa, 46, and her daughter, Desiree Figueroa, 24, on suspicion of being the authors of the crime. According to the report of his arrest, the women distracted their victim by showing her a photo album so that they could hang her. Piotr Bobak, 40, and boyfriend of Clarisa Figueroa, was also arrested on suspicion of concealing the murder.

For its part, Cook County Police revealed in a statement that the aforementioned hospital and the Chicago Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) are being investigated to determine how the suspect and the baby were admitted without raising suspicions..

"I just think, in my mind, if I see someone coming in with a baby, with the umbilical [cord] and placenta, how come the mother looks like she's in good health, bloodless, normal clothes ? That doesn't make sense,” Frank Ávila, the family's lawyer, told CBS-7 in Chicago.

Marlen Ochoa-López's funeral will take place this Saturday at the Mount Auburn Funeral Home in Stickney after two vigils are held on the previous Thursday and Friday. Her family has established a GoFundMe page to help the family.
