A woman accused of killing a pregnant woman and stealing the baby from the victim's womb is going on trial in the United States.
On trial: Lisa Montgomery 39, is charged with the kidnapping and resulting death of Bobbie Jo Stinnett.
It is alleged Montgomery strangled Ms Stinnett, 23, and used a kitchen knife to cut the baby from her womb and take her as her own.
The baby, Victoria Jo Stinnett, survived the attack in December 2004 in Kansas City, Missouri.
It is believed the accused was nine months into a fake pregnancy and was desperate for a baby because her family were asking questions about her pregnancy.
Montgomery has pleaded not guilty and her lawyers have said they plan to use insanity as a defence.
