A baby was found decapitated and stabbed in a US home overnight with the mother allegedly claiming “the devil told her to do it’’.
Police said the mother was found screaming “that she killed her baby boy” and will be charged with murder.
The mother Otty Sanchez, 33, of San Antonio, is currently receiving medical attention for self-inflicted stab wounds to her chest and stomach.
Investigators took a sword, a machete and a kitchen knife from the home.
They said the “the baby had obviously been decapitated".
Two more children were found at the home but were unharmed.
San Antonio police spokesman Joe Rios said that when police arrived, Sanchez was sitting on the couch “screaming that she killed her baby”.
“She mentioned that someone or something told her to do it, she was hearing voices,’’ Mr Rios said.
“So that leads us to believe that she was experiencing some type of mental crisis.”
