FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (AP)—A woman has been charged with murder in the death of her 10-month-old daughter, who deputies say was bitten and violently shaken because she was crying.
Sashine Howell, 23, was being held without bail Sunday.
Broward County sheriff's deputies said Howell gave conflicting stories, first saying a boyfriend shook her daughter, Faith, and then admitting that she didn't have a boyfriend and that she shook the child herself.
According to sheriff's reports, Howell shook the baby and bit her because the infant was crying and had bonded with her father during a recent visit.
The infant had a bite mark on her back, intracranial bleeding and a swollen bruise on her head. She died Saturday at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
