Mother Accused Of Murdering Infant SonReported by: Erin Wolfe
Thursday, Aug 21, 2008 @02:44pm EDT
BERKELEY COUNTY, WV - An infant was pronounced dead at Martinsburg City Hospital, and police have arrested his mother for murder.
Seven-month-old Skylar Boggs was brought to the hospital Tuesday evening.
Skylar’s mother, Monica Boggs (pictured), told police she had checked on the baby several times throughout the evening. She noticed he wasn’t breathing just after 9:00 p.m.
After the infant was pronounced dead at the hospital, he was taken to the Morgantown Medical Examiner’s Office. According to investigators, the preliminary autopsy indicated Skylar did not die of natural causes.
Troopers tell NBC25 Monica Boggs admitted she had caused the injuries to the child, and the injuries were traumatic. At this point in the investigation, they can’t release any further details.
Boggs is currently being held at the Eastern Regional Jail. -
