Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 D 4
A
STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES
SECOND
EDITION
Lying on the
floor, Violetta looked downward and saw her daughter’s head emerging and decided
to pull her out. She placed one hand across the face, covering the nose, and
one hand behind the head. She then held her hand over the baby’s nose and
mouth, despite knowing that if she did so, the infant would stop breathing.
When asked later why she did this, Violetta responded that she was frightened
and did not “know what I was thinking.” Violetta stated that she fainted
shortly after the birth, and upon waking, realized the baby was not breathing.
Her father was knocking at the door, asking if she was all right. She cleaned
up the blood, not wanting him to “be worried.” An hour later, Miguel opened the
bathroom door and founded his sister in her weakened post birth state.
