SAN ANTONIO -- A 33-year-old woman decapitated her newborn son and then tried to kill herself with a kitchen knife, police said Sunday.
According to a police report, when officers arrived at a home at 351 Wayside Drive at 4:41 a.m. Sunday, they found the mother, Otty Sanchez, sitting on a couch screaming, "I killed my baby! I want to die!"
Officers then found Sanchez's newborn son, Scott Wesley Buchholtz Sanchez, lying on a bed in a back bedroom.
"The baby had been decapitated," said police spokesman Officer Joe Rios.
Sanchez told officers that the devil made her kill her child, the report stated.
"That leads us to believe she was experiencing some type of mental crisis when this incident happened," Rios said.
A kitchen knife and a sword were found near the baby's body, the report stated.
Eliane Colchin, a neighbor who gave Sanchez a crib for her baby a few months ago, was devastated by the news.
"When I heard that, I couldn't stand it. I just cried, you know," Colchin said.
Sanchez, who had self-inflicted stab wounds, was taken to University Hospital, where she will undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
She was charged by proxy with capital murder.
