US mom kills ten-day-old baby in washing machine

In a gruesome incident, a 26-year -old mother in the US has allegedly killed her 10-day-old baby girl in a washing machine in which she put the infant with a pile of laundry, a media report said.

The horror was discovered by the baby Maggie May's aunt who opened the top-loader washing machine after hearing it clanging as it came to the end of its 40-minute wash cycle, 'The Sun' reported.

Cops and paramedics raced to Lyndsey Fiddler's flat and found Maggie still in the machine tangled in washing. Some of the hardened detectives even wept, the report said.

The mother of three has been arrested and charged with manslaughter as the police tried to discover if she killed the baby on purpose. Her two boys aged four and three were taken into care.
