(Pomona, California) Last week, a 23-year-old local woman, Josie Navarro, was arrested for allegedly drowning her 5-year-old son in a motel bathtub. Emergency personnel were called to the motel and tried to resuscitate Edgar Manuel Sanchez Jr. but failed.
According to Pomona Police Sgt. Rick Baker:
"Officers arrived to find a woman being restrained by another person on the floor of the room and a 5-year-old boy underwater and unresponsive in the bathtub in the room," Baker said in a statement.Navarro faces a murder charge.
According to the preliminary investigation, Navarro, who had checked into the motel earlier Monday, drowned her son and tried to kill herself with over-the-counter sleeping medication, Baker said.
"The suspect made statements indicating that she wanted to die because of problems in her life, and didn't want to leave her son behind," Baker said.
