- Molly Crane-Newman and James Fanelli

THE FORMER boyfriend of a Bronx woman accused of murdering her pregnant pal and carving the baby out of her womb said Tuesday that she franticall­y called him to confess — and get his help.

Angel Praylow testified in Bronx Supreme Court that then-girlfriend Ashleigh Wade phoned him on Nov. 20, 2015, demanding he come immediatel­y to her apartment.

“She said, ‘I think I killed somebody. I’m scared. I can’t do this by myself,’ ” Praylow recalled. He said during the chaotic phone call, Wade said she had also given birth to their child.

Praylow said he raced to Wade’s home to discover her friend Angelikque Sutton on the ground.

“I turn to my left and I just see legs on the floor,” he said. “I broke down crying.”

Praylow also saw a newborn girl, wearing mittens and sucking on a pacifier.

He said that he believed the child — later named Jenasis — was his based on what Wade had previously told him. He recalled wrapping the baby in blankets and taking her outside to wait for cops to arrive.

Wade is accused of repeatedly slashing and stabbing Sutton in the neck and then cutting the baby out of her.

Praylow testified that Wade was obsessed with having a baby and told him in March 2015 she was pregnant and due that November.
