Baby thrown from 7th floor window by mum with umbilical cord still attached

Baby was thrown from a 7th floor window of an high-rise building in the Bronx

Jennifer Berry, 33, is expected to face murder charges after throwing her new born baby from a 7th floor window of an high rise building in the Bronx, New York. The infant was reported to be alive with her umbilical cord still attached when she was thrown by the mother but died from blunt force trauma, the police said.
The 33-year-old, who reportedly denied being pregnant, allegedly told police she gave birth in the shower of her apartment. She claimed the baby wasn't breathing so she threw the baby and the placenta out of the window, the Daily News reported.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, in University Heights, at 2.37pm but the baby was pronounced dead minutes later.
The tragic newborn was discovered by the building super's wife. Berry was taken into custody following the incident.
Kenneth Bolton, 29, who was visiting relatives at the building, told the Daily News: "She was deranged like she was lost, you know when someone has a look in their eyes like they don't know where they are?
"The devil was in her eyes, it was more like not human"
