A 19-year-old woman has been charged by police with the murder of a 4-month-old baby girl in her care at a daycare center in Delaware.

Dejoynay M. Ferguson suffocated the infant by covering her nose and mouth and then put her in a crib before notifying the owner of the Bear facility that the victim was unresponsive, Delaware State police said in a statement. At that point, 911 was called and the baby was taken to hospital where she was declared dead on the morning of Sept. 5.
