NY Mom Accused of Killing Her Baby

(Syracuse, New York) A 30-year-old local woman, Nicole DeJaynes, has been accused of killing her baby and placing the body in a dumpster.

DeJaynes faces one count of second-degree murder and two counts of first-degree manslaughter.

In January, Liverpool Police responded to a report of a newborn infant found dead in a dumpster outside the Pearl Street Apartment complex.

A medical examiner’s report revealed that the child was born alive and then suffocated.

The baby was allegedly killed on Jan. 5, but police couldn’t find DeJaynes until about a week later.

DeJaynes was booked into custody without bail.
