Police: Baby killed by power saw 01:03
Story highlights
A 52-year-old woman is in police custody at a hospital
She is reported to have cut the baby's throat because it wouldn't stop crying
(CNN)A 9-month-old girl has died after reportedly having her throat cut with a power saw in a Chicago home, authorities said.
A 52-year-old woman related to the baby is in police custody at a hospital.
Authorities said the woman cut the girl's throat with a circular saw, apparently because she wouldn't stop crying, the Chicago Tribune reported (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-baby-killed-in-little-village-neighborhood-20150309-story.html). The woman then tried to kill herself and was found by another relative, the newspaper reported.
The woman has minor self-inflicted injuries and is in stable condition at the hospital, police told CNN.
The events took place in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago.
Neighbors told CNN affiliate WLS (http://abc7chicago.com/news/cops-woman-killed-baby-with-power-saw-in-little-village/550684/) that a couple lived at the apartment with two grown daughters, each of whom had a young child.
"I can't believe this," Raul Chavez, a neighbor, told the local broadcaster. "I knew them. I knew them real good. I knew them because we would help out each other."
Police responded to a 911 call around 9:30 a.m. Monday, CNN affiliate WGN (http://wgntv.com/2015/03/09/police-investigating-murder-of-9-month-old-baby-in-little-village/) reported.
Officers found the baby unresponsive with traumatic injuries to the body, police told CNN. She was later declared dead.
Police detectives are conducting a "domestic-related murder investigation," the Chicago Tribune reported.
