Mom Gets Life in Prison for Killing Baby - Updated

(Butler County, Ohio) Earlier today, 27-year-old Asuncion Avila-Villa pleaded guilty to all four charges against her in connection with the murder of her five week old baby in 2009.

In exchange for her plea, Asuncion Avila-Villa avoided the death penalty.
Police said when they found the body of Israel Santos, he was malnourished and had several broken bones, abrasions and bruises.

The baby died of a crashed skull. Prosecutors called her burial of the infant's body in a garbage can as quote gang style.
Asuncion Avila-Villa was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Mom Accused of Killing Baby to Hide Sex with Minor
[Previous 2/12/10 post]
(Hamilton, Ohio) A local woman, Asuncion "Suzie" Avila-Villa, has been accused of murdering her three-month-old son, Israel Santos, to hide the fact that she had sex with the child's 14-year-old father.

She has been charged with aggravated murder, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.

Investigators allege that Avila-Villa crushed her malnourished baby's skull and broke his arm before throwing him in the garbage and reporting that he was missing.

Although Avila-Villa claims to be mentally ill and taking medication, she was ruled today by Butler County Common Pleas Judge Andrew Nastoff to be competent to stand trial.
