Savannah Mother Accused of Murder Held Without Bond:
Reason to Blow Up the World...
Police say 21-year-old Virkisha Warren drowned her three month old son - and put him in a trash bag. Warren went before a judge today in Chatham County - showing no emotion as she was read her rights. Warren is being held without bond. She'll be in court again later this month.
Brandon Warren was in this world just three months.
His last day here now haunts his Great Aunt:
"I was in my house cleaning up and he (Brandon's father) came in crying. I'm like, 'What's wrong with you Brandon?' and he's like, 'My baby out there in the bag dead.' I said 'What are you talking about?' He said, 'She done killed my baby,'" recalls Thompkins.
The infant's mom - Virkisha Warren - telling police she woke up Thursday and he wasn't breathing. "She did not have a cell phone at her house. She transported her and her child to her baby's daddy's house. On her way to the father's house she saw him on a road... She stopped and picked him up," says Savannah-Chatham Police Detective Karen Ryan.
In her lap - police say - a trash bag.
"He asked what was in the bag. She told him some clothes - he knew it was not clothes. When he looked and reached for the bag, he realized it was his son," explains Ryan.
When you have post partum depression is it not possible to bring yourself back from the edge? Can you not recognize at that point that having thoughts about killing your own baby is wrong?
One point for the drowning, another point for putting the baby in a trashbag, one more point for trying to hide the crime, and one last point for the article actually using the phrase baby's daddy. That's four.
