A man has appeared in court charged with murder after a pregnant woman was killed with a crossbow at her home in east London.

Ramanodge Unmathallegadoo appeared at Barkingside magistrates court on Tuesday charged with the murder of Sana Muhammad and will appear at the Old Bailey on 15 November.

Muhammad, 35, was shot in the stomach at her home in Ilford at 7.40am on Monday. She was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead at 11am. Doctors managed to deliver the baby boy, named Ibrahim, by emergency caesarean. Police said he was in hospital in a stable condition.

Her husband, Imtiaz Muhammad, told the Evening Standard: “The arrow went up into her heart but did not touch the unborn baby. The baby was due in four weeks. They operated with the arrow still in because it would have been too dangerous to take out.

What the UK needs is common sense crossbow regulation.

Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, says that you “have got to be prepared for these sorts of things” because it’s all “part and parcel of living in a big city”.

I was watching BBC America news this morning and some guy actually called for them to be added to the “Dangerous Weapons Act”. Pussies.

I think I read somewhere that the dead woman was the ex-wife of the shooter.

The Canon 29 of the Second Lateran Council, held in 1139 reads as follows:

29. We prohibit under anathema that murderous art of crossbowmen and archers, which is hateful to God, to be employed against Christians and Catholics from now on.

That said, the Council did not go so far as to prohibit the use of the crossbow against deer, moose, or mooslims—though I think that the use against non-Christian non-combatants, while not covered by the canon, would still be frowned upon.
(This Canon was later superseded—though possibly not until 1917.)

It wasn’t murder....he was just cleaning it.

It is only fitting that the Guardian folks are doomed to live in a Muslim country.
We’ll see how well all that fetid progressivism works for them.
Hope the walls in their little circle city are high, thick, and strong.
Farewell, U.K.
We’ll not be able to help because our upcoming Civil War II will have all of our attention.

Selected excerpts:

DEADLY assault rifle-style crossbows are available on high streets and online without any need for a licence or background checks

The terrifying weapon, bought in Leeds, is capable of hitting a target with its aluminium-pointed bolts at 500 yards.

MPs have backed the Daily Express campaign and urged the Government to ban the deadly "sporting devices" saying there was "no reason" for them to be on sale to the general public.

To my horror I was able to buy an ultra-powerful deadly weapon on one of Britain's busiest shopping streets in just five minutes.

I nervously entered the store in Leeds city centre and was taken aback by the array of weapons including samurai swords, machetes and axes on unguarded display alongside air pistols, rifles and BB guns.
