DAYTON, OHIO---More than a year after she brought her dead month-old baby to the hospital, a woman has been charged with aggravated murder for allegedly killing her baby in a microwave oven.
Bail was set at $1 million for China Arnold, 26, whose daughter, Paris Talley, died in August, 2005. When Arnold brought her to Children's Medical Center on Aug. 30, the infant was already dead. The cause of death was ruled to be a homicide caused by hyperthermia, high body temperature, due to thermal injury.
The director of the Montgomery County coroner's office which performed the autopsy said that they now have reason to believe and scientific evidence to support that a microwave oven might have been involved in the death of the child.
Arnold had been arrested at the time of the death but then released.
Her attorney says that the night before the baby died, Arnold and the child's father had left the baby with a babysitter. He says that Arnold found the baby unconscious the next morning.
She has three other children. 11-28-06
