'Suicide Bid' Mum Arrested Over Baby's Murder

A young mother has been arrested on suspicion of murdering her seven-month-old baby after also attempting suicide, police said.

Officers were called to reports of a car collision on Saturday morning where, after a search, they found the mother carrying her lifeless infant.

Police sent to the Del Valle Regional Park near Livermore, California, first came across a badly damaged Honda Civic.

Witnesses had reported seeing a young woman acting erratically and ramming her car into a rock wall, according to KTVU.com, .

Officers carried out an extensive search of an area of the seven square mile (17 sq km) park called Arroyo Camp, the San Jose Mercury said.

Around two hours into the search, highway patrol and park police officers came across the woman walking along Arroyo Road, with the baby in her arms.

Officers saw that the child had been stabbed several times and attempted to resuscitate it, but were unsuccessful.

East Bay Regional Park District Police Chief Timothy Anderson told the San Jose Mercury it was possible the woman, who was in her early to mid 20s, was suffering some form of depression.

She had a cut to the lower part of her body and a pocket knife was found nearby.

Mr Anderson told the San Jose Mercury: "This is an extremely shocking case for us. Many of our officers have families of their own. Something like this hits them really hard."

A number of items of evidence were taken from the scene and the police chief said the next stage was to interview the woman and her family and friends to find out what had happened.

Forensic technicians have also been examining the area.

The woman was being held in Santa Rita Jail, Alameda County, California.
