Woman attempts to kill baby in Chilly Hudson river


Most of us are grown up under the pleasant love, affection, care and motherhood of our dear mothers. And, whatever be the extreme conditions, a mother always tries to protect her kid from all sorts of adversities even at her own peril.

What sort of a woman will attempt a BRUTAL MURDER of her baby, a piece of her own??
Well, this but happens and comes naturally to some criminal minded women, specially if they are of Indian origin!! These woman have a special knack of using their child as a pawn in any matrimonial dispute. Have a look here.

And more shameful is the attitude of courts in dealing with such matters, they always ASSUME the woman as innocent. Accordingly, this woman got an easy bail before any trial.
Had a man done this, he would have been made to rot in jail even before any trial and labelled CRIMINAL at the outset.

Have a look at this news item:

NEW YORK: A depressed Indian woman threw her 19-month-old daughter into the chilly Hudson river and then jumped in behind her in a murder-suicide attempt to get back at her husband, prosecutors have said.

The baby of 33-year-old Devi Silvia, the mother of two who hails from Tamil Nadu, had to be taken to a trauma centre in Manhattan in a critical condition.

"
She said she was sad and lonely and angry at her husband and that she did this horrific act on purpose," assistant district attorney Robert Hettleman was quoted as saying by the New York Post.

"She made clear that she threw her baby into the freezing river in order to get back at her husband," he said, arguing successfully that the mother be held without bail.

The toddler, Jessica Prithi-viraj, was blue and motionless when rescuers plucked her and Silvia from the roughly 10-degrees celsius water on Tuesday last, Hettleman said. He said the child was in a stable condition.
