Officers found five-week-old
Chase Harrison floating in a bathtub at Thomas' home in Plant City,
Florida, U.S.
Talae Thomas,
30, is understood to have confessed to murdering her five-week-old
son because she believed he was the devil.
A
woman accused of murdering her newborn son is alleged to have told
police she drowned the baby boy because she believed he was the
devil.
Police
said Talae Akei Thomas, 30, said her baby Chase Harrelson died in the
hospital after she gave birth, and that the child she brought home
with her in Florida, U.S., was in fact the devil.
Thomas
told officers 'I drowned the devil that was in my baby' after the
newborn 'started talking' to her, according to a police statement.
'My
baby died five weeks ago in the hospital,' Thomas said in the
statement obtained by the Associated Press.
'I
brought the devil home; mine died in the hospital after they did CPR
on him. The baby started talking to me and I knew he was the devil.
'He
was the devil, so I killed him. I drowned the devil that was in my
baby,' the affidavit said.
Thomas,
who is a Christian, was arrested on November 16 after police found
her lying in the street in Plant City, Florida, and she told them she
had lost her baby.
When
officers searched her apartment they found Chase's body floating in a
bathtub, according to a report in The
Huffington Post.
She
has been charged with first degree murder and aggravated child abuse.
The
woman's family told the AP that she suffers hallucinations and had
experienced a breakdown four years ago.

Therefore
now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel;
Wherefore commit ye [this] great evil against your souls, to cut
off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to
leave you none to remain;
|
|
|
She
is hardened against her young ones, as though [they were] not
hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
|
|
|
The
tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to
set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and
tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom,
and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
|
|
|
And
toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and
toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them
for want of all [things] secretly in the siege and straitness,
wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
|
|
|
Even
the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their
young ones: the daughter of my people [is become] cruel, like the
ostriches in the wilderness.
