CHICAGO - A TEXAS woman decapitated her newborn baby and ate
pieces of his body before turning a knife on herself, police said
on Monday.
The woman was covered in blood and screaming: 'I killed my baby,
I want to die' when police arrived at the modest San Antonio
home.
'She mentioned that someone or something told her to do it and
she was hearing voices, so that leads us to believe she was
experiencing some kind of mental crisis,' said police spokesman Joe
Rios.
The woman had separated from the baby's father about a week
earlier and was living with her mother and sister, who were helping
to care for the baby born on June 30.
The woman was discovered around 4.30am Sunday by her mother, who
found her holding the decapitated baby.
She appeared to have ingested parts of her child after attacking
him with a knife, Mr Rios said.
'She was biting on the head,' Mr Rios told AFP.
Otty Sanchez, 33, was charged with capital murder and remained
in hospital on Monday. -- AFP

her.
