Mother filmed trying to suffocate her newborn because she thinks the baby is 'possessed' by the spirit of her dead daughter
A Texas mother whose three-month-old daughter died of brain injury due to oxygen deprivation three years ago was recently caught on camera trying to suffocate her second child. According to the mother, who was arrested Wednesday, her newborn baby was having episodes of apnea.
Shawna Renae Bieber, 22, of Fort Worth, told her foster parents that she put her hand over her daughter's mouth because her dead daughter had come back as a demon. On February 15, she was recorded depriving her baby of oxygen while trying to suffocate her, Daily Mail reports. Bieber lost another child in 2016, and she had told people that the child "came back as a demon and was trying to take the victim away from" her.
A Cook Children's Medical Center video saw Bieber holding her daughter against her chest in a rocking chair and gripping the "victim tightly immediately before the victim's right leg began to kick."
