A charity worker has appeared in court in New York, United States accused of throwing her newborn baby daughter out of a window to her death.
Jennifer Berry, 33, was charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter at the court in the Bronx on Monday.
The girl was found in a rubbish-strewn alleyway last week, her umbilical cord still attached.
Prosecutors now say they are re-examining the March 2008 death of Ms Berry’s infant son, which was  attributed to sudden infant death syndrome.
Under questioning, she also initially denied having been pregnant before claiming to have given birth to a stillborn baby in the shower, prosecutors said. Ms Berry is now in custody until the date of her next court appearance on 27 October.
