Cops: Chicago Grandmother Cut Baby's Throat With Power Saw
A 7-month-old baby girl was found dead Monday morning in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood after her throat was apparently cut with a circular power saw, Chicago's ABC7 reports.
Police say the girl's 52-year-old grandmother apparently killed her because she wouldn't stop crying. Charges are reportedly pending against her, and she's currently being held at Mt. Sinai Hospital with self-inflicted wounds after an apparent suicide attempt.
Neighbors said that a couple lived in the home with two grown daughters who each had a baby, and they didn't seem to be having any family problems. The Department of Child and Family Services had never been involved with the family, the AP reported.
A family member, possibly one of the daughters, found the baby and grandmother around 10 a.m.
"When I came out I heard a young lady in front of the door, and she was crying, 'When am I going to see my mom?' or something like that," a neighbor told ABC7.
