Police in Chicago had a grim task, trying to find out what pushed a grandmother to allegedly kill her own grandchild.
WLS reported the 7-month-old girl was found with a woman identified as her grandmother. The child was dead with gashes to her throat, believed to have been made with a circular saw. The woman was alive, but had self-inflicted wounds.
Chicago police told WLS they believe the woman was frustrated because the baby wouldn't stop crying.
The 57-year-old woman was taken to a hospital, in police custody. Records show the family had no previous problems with law enforcement.
