MADRID -- Police say they have arrested a woman suspected of killing her three-month-old baby by slashing its throat in a cemetery chapel in a small central Spanish town.
A Civil Guard spokesman said the woman, a 37-year-old Spaniard, was arrested early Wednesday in the cemetery of Villa de Don Fadrique, a town of some 4,000 inhabitants located just southeast of Madrid.
The officer said a judge had placed a secrecy order on the investigation and he could not give any further details.
The officer spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with police regulations.
