Two abortion doctors in Maryland have been charged with murder following an investigation into botched abortions and what has been described as a “freezer full of fetuses”.

CBS Baltimore reports:

Two doctors who performed late-term abortions in a Cecil County clinic now face murder charges. The police investigation began last year when police say Dr. Steven Brigham and Dr. Nicola Riley performed part of an abortion in New Jersey, then transferred the patient to Maryland to finish it. When the 18-year-old woman suffered complications she was taken to the hospital. Then, police searched the abortion clinic looking for her medical records, but they found something else.

Dr. Riley, who lives in Utah, faces one count of first- and second-degree murder. Dr. Brigham from New Jersey faces 5 counts of murder.

The indictment is sealed so details are limited.

Reached by phone, State’s Attorney Ellis Rollins would not tell WJZ if the victims are the fetus found in the freezer.

Both doctors were apparently arrested out-of-state and so are being held pending extradition to Maryland. Court documents, which will provide more details, could be released next week.
