After her arrest, Singh confessed to the crime saying, she didn’t know what to do with her (baby)
Indian-American Arya Singh has been charged with first-degree murder for tossing her newborn baby into a Florida inlet four years ago. Singh, who was arrested on December 15 confessed to the crime saying, “she didn’t know what to do with her (baby)”, The New York Post said, quoting police officials.
“The baby’s body was found floating in the Boynton Beach inlet on June 1, 2018 after she had been disposed of like a piece of trash”, Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said during a press conference.
Investigators were unable to solve the case for several years, until a relative turned up in a national DNA database, who led them to the baby’s father
“It tugs at your heart,” Bradshaw said. Singh told the police that she did not even realise she was pregnant until she gave birth. “She didn’t know what to do with her and she still had her with her and she just decided that’s where she was going to dispose of her,” Detective Brittany Christoffel, who spearheaded the case, said. The baby was believed to be alive when she was thrown into the ocean, the daily reported.
Investigators were unable to solve the case for several years, until a relative turned up in a national DNA database, who led them to the baby’s father, reported IANS.
