Baby killer ‘refused medication’

OTTY SANCHEZ, a schizophrenic with a history of hospitalisations who butchered her son this week, refused to take medication for her postpartum depression, her son’s father said.

She’d been going to regular counselling and had been briefly hospitalised since the boy was born.

But the 33-year-old woman’s troubles only became apparent to authorities when they found her before dawn on Sunday, in a house where she had access to samurai swords, screaming that she had killed her baby. Her three-week-old son was dismembered in a scene so gruesome police were left shaken. Three of his tiny toes had been chewed off, his face torn away, his head severed and his brains had been ripped out.
