Otty Sanchez killed her almost 4-week-old baby by stabbing, mutilating and beheading him. She told police that the devil made her kill her baby. She said the baby beheading was the result of hearing voices that told her to do it.

Otty Sanchez is 33-years-old and lives in San Antonio, Texas in a very modest home with her sister and her sister’s two young children. Their mother lives in a small structure behind the house. On June 30, 2009, Otty gave birth to a baby boy she named Scott Wesley Buchholtz Sanchez. In the early morning hours of Sunday, July 26, 2009, the San Antonio police were called to the Sanchez home and made a grizzly discovery.

Police describe the scene as one of the most gruesome they had ever seen. When they arrived at the home, Otty Sanchez was sitting on the couch, crying and screaming that she had killed her baby and wanted to die. She had stabbed herself several times in the abdomen and chest in an apparent attempt to kill herself. The worst was yet to come. They found her 3 1/2 week old infant baby son on a bed in a pool of blood, decapitated. Apparently, Otty’s mother had been awakened during the night, about 4:30 am, by her daughter’s screams. She saw Sanchez holding the baby and that the baby had been beheaded. She took the baby’s body from Sanchez, put him on the bed and called the police.

One of the photographs that changed medical history is that of Lina Medina, the youngest mother who gave birth at the age of five. Born in Peru in 1933, Lina was brought to the local hospital by her parents because of an increasingly enlarged belly, which they first thought of a tumor. After a series of tests however, the doctors confirmed that she was seven months pregnant. A month later Lina gave birth to a baby boy whom she named Gerardo, after her doctor.

Lina Medina is the first known case of precocious pregnancy, and based on studies it was shown that she had an advanced menarche development resulting to menstruation at the age of 8 months, prominent breasts upon turning four, and bone maturation at age 5.

Her son Gerardo was first raised knowing that Lina was his sister, but eventually he found out that she was his mother at the age of 10. In 1972, Lina married and gave birth to her second son, 33 years after Gerardo was born. Gerardo soon died seven years later at the age of 40, due to a bone marrow disease. Lina, who is now aged 74, continues to live with her husband in Chicago, Chico, in Lima, Peru.
