A nurse con­tact­ed the po­lice around 3:15 pm yes­ter­day (Wednes­day, Sep­tem­ber 21), af­ter the ba­by was brought to the Princes Town Health Fa­cil­i­ty un­re­spon­sive.

When the po­lice ar­rived at the fa­cil­i­ty, they met the fe­male rel­a­tive who ad­mit­ted what she did.

She al­leged­ly told them that she was at her New Grant home with the ba­by and a 10-year-old boy.

The woman said around 12:20 pm, the ba­by be­gan to cry un­con­trol­lably, and she be­came frus­trat­ed and fed her Malathion in­sec­ti­cide us­ing a sy­ringe.

She left the ba­by on a bed. Short­ly af­ter she found her un­re­spon­sive.  The woman called the am­bu­lance which took the ba­by girl to the health fa­cil­i­ty. She was then trans­ferred to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal where she died around 6:30 pm.

Po­lice re­cov­ered a sy­ringe, a ba­by bot­tle and a 250 ml bot­tle with the mark­ings Malathion at the woman’s home.

The fe­male rel­a­tive is still in po­lice cus­tody.
