The mother of a gruesomely murdered newborn knew her boyfriend was going to kill the child when she handed the baby over to him, Wayne County District Attorney Michael Lehutsky said Saturday.
Jennifer Barrise, 20, of the Hideout in Lake Ariel, was charged with criminal homicide and concealing the death of a child by state police in Honesdale late Friday. Mr. Lehutsky said she was charged as an accomplice after the investigation disclosed she knew Christopher Fitzpatrick, 20, also of the Hideout, was going to kill the child.
Authorities said after Ms. Barrise gave birth, Mr. Fitzpatrick took the baby to a wooded area behind his place of employment, put the child on the ground and dropped a cinder block on her twice, killing her. He has been charged with criminal homicide, concealing the death of a child and two counts of the abuse of a corpse.
