Sydney: A young
Australian mother stabbed her newborn baby to death with a pair of
scissors and tried to cover up the crime as a stillbirth, a media
report said Sunday.
The relatives of the teenager found her bleeding after she gave
birth at her Canowindra home in New South Wales Wednesday, the
Sydney Morning Herald reported.
She later told police that her baby boy had been stillborn, a
court heard Saturday, the newspaper said.
An autopsy confirmed the baby had died from six stab wounds to the
chest, including one that pierced his heart. The baby had also
suffered from asphyxiation, possibly from being placed in a bucket
after birth. Police have found a pair of bloodied scissors in her
house.
The teenager has been charged with the baby's murder. Her
solicitor, Andrew Rolfe, had asked that she be released to the
care of her parents so she could continue to receive medical
treatment. Bail was refused and she is due to reappear in Orange
Local Court Monday, the newspaper said.
