The woman who allegedly 'decapitated' her baby before eating parts of the body has been charged with capital murder.
Otty Sanchez's alleged murder of her infant son Scott Wesley Buchholtz-Sanchez - born on June 30 - has shocked not just her home-state Texas, but people around the world.
Local police say the mother used a knife and two swords to dismember her baby boy before eating parts of the body, including his brain. The woman also decapitated the child before turning a knife onto herself.
Investigators are describing the case as the worst they have ever come across.
Sanchez has been moved to a jail after recovering at a hospital in San Antonio from self-inflicted stab wounds and is being held on $1 million bail.
The woman - suffering from both schizophrenia and postpartum psychosis - said she heard voices and claimed 'the devil' made her kill her baby.
"I think she should be punished to the fullest extent of the law," father of the child Steve Buchholz - who also suffers from schizophrenia - told US media. "That's what I think should happen. She killed my son; she should burn in hell."
Sanchez had separated from Buchholz about a week before the toddler's death and was living with her mother and sister, who were helping to care for the baby.
Bucholz, who was worried for his son's safety, had been trying to arrange custody at the time of the child's murder.
I don’t care if she has supermodel looks. Guilty as all hell.
What happened to a woman’s right to choose?/s
When will the Perky One be holding the defense fund telethon for this child murderer?
stick a fork in her............GUILTY!
According to Øbama's science advisor, this should not be an issue at all.
Well, except the increased carbon footprint from eating all of that brain /s
Her psychosis likely part of their separation, I suppose. It's too bad that psychotics work faster than the legal system. Yet, if he'd taken the boy away from her, he'd be the one in jail.
What a monster!
Beast.
According to the article the father is schizo also.
Where is child protective services? I guess these people weren’t conservative Christian home schoolers, so no need to remove the kids from the home.
There goes that possibility.
Thanks in advance for the nightmares.

Schizophrenia is not “psycho mumbo-jumbo”. It’s a very real and devastating organic disorder of the brain.
What’s evil is the society with a medical and legal system that doesn’t stop known schizophrenics from reproducing. The mother was apparently just diagnosed, but the father was already known to be schizophrenics. Not only are schizphrenics utterly unequipped to raise a child, but the the disorder is also known to have a strong genetic component, so it’s likely to passed on to children. A simple vasectomy would have prevented this horror.
What’s this I hear, that hubby was schiz too? That somehow cancels out her nuttiness to enable him to make correct theological statements?
I have barely heard even a peep of sound theology on these gut reaction threads. Maybe those who know it are older and wiser and just stay away from where fools rush in.
If found guilty she should surely hang.

That doesn’t necessarily make him dangerous. He merely has a mental illness — a fairly common one.
She picked the wrong state to murder her baby in.
