SAN ANTONIO (AP) â€" A woman charged with murdering her 3 1/2-week-old son used a knife and two swords to dismember the child and ate parts of his body, including his brain, before stabbing herself in the torso and slicing her own throat, police said Monday.
Otty Sanchez, 33, is charged with capital murder in the death of her infant son, Scott Wesley Buchholtz-Sanchez. She was recovering from her wounds at a hospital, and was being held on $1 million bail.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the early Sunday morning attack occurred a week after the child's father moved out. The child's aunt and two cousins, ages 5 and 7, were in the house, but none were harmed.
McManus, who appeared uncomfortable as he addressed reporters, said Sanchez apparently ate the child's brain and some other body parts. She also tore his face off, chewed off three of his toes and decapitated the infant before stabbing herself.
"It's too heinous for me to describe it any further," McManus said.
Officers called to Sanchez's house at about 5 a.m. Sunday found her sitting on the couch "screaming that she killed her baby," police spokesman Joe Rios said. They found the boy's body in a bedroom.
Police said Sanchez said the devil told her to kill her son.
"It was a spontaneous utterance," McManus said. "She said she was hearing voices."
Sanchez does not yet have a lawyer, police said, and was hospitalized in San Antonio. The police declined to identify other family members.
No one answered the door Monday at Sanchez's home, where the blinds were shut. A hopscotch pattern and red hearts were drawn on the walk leading up to the house.
Neighbor Luis Yanez said everyone on the street was appalled by the news.
"Why would you do that to your baby?" said Yanez, 23, a tire technician. "It brings chills to you. They can't defend themselves."
Dude...
Unbelievable...that is such a heinous act
So who will write this into a TV storyline first? CSI, Law & Order or Cold Case?
Thats horrible :/
Could anyone possibly be in their right mind to do something like that?
This lady just needs to have her organs harvested.
(Provided anyone would even want them)
That made me pretty ill when I read it.
kinda funny that when people say angels, demons, God, or the devil yalk to them today we call them crazy...............when in the Bible people talked to them and they were called prophets or messengers. Heck, God told people to kill sacrafice thier children in the Bible, and they did it.
What's the difference?

Actually I'm rather glad you brought that up. The difference is Faith.
The prophet, or Masha could be walking the earth and have said whom they are but in today's society we would just classify them as crazy, and ignore or more likely lock em up in a padded room.
Not saying I believe either way but I find it funny that you could be a man of a faith's god in this country and not be believed based on the skepticism and true lack of faith in ones own religion.
I think most people are waiting on that guy to walk around with a big halo or wings on there back.
Then again I'm not big into any organized religion anyway.
Edit: But back on subject I think the bitch is crazy
I think she should be strapped in a chair in a nursery and forced to see what happy children palying look like for no less than one year.
She needs to think about what her child could have been doing instead of being digested by her deranged ass.
Children do not belong on your dinner table.
Talk about God and punishment, THIS is why God created honey and fire ants!
OCKLAWAHA
Wow...this seriously made me sick a little. She obviously has a mental disorder, poor kid.
You are right Stephen. That bitch is crazy. How disturbing.

I have to agree. The bitch is crazy. And I also have to agree with the organ donor suggestion. That's all she's fit for now.
Considering where this thing lives, she might be Native American...AKA: Indian. If so turn her ass over to tribal justice, I've seen it in Oklahoma, and it isn't pretty.

Its always “the devil made me do itâ€. Can’t these sickos at least come up with something more original? Like Hades or Thor or Baal made me do it?
I have no filter.
Besides, what else are you going to do with a story that's this awful.

Aside from almost vomiting on the keyboard, not much else comes to mind here.
I can't imagine that she would be able to stand trial...you can't go Hannibal like that and be expected to understand what you are doing.
But it is Texas, so she will probably be on death row next weekend.
Holy CRAP
I beg everyone's pardon for a moment. I was looking for the erudite urban design comments,
fascinating nuances of Duval County history, and viable alternatives for future regional transportation blog and I seem to have inadvertently stumbled upon the equine bestiality, unspeakable horrors of disturbed parents, tabloid galvanized urinal trough of nastiness instead.
My mistake. Jeez.
This is truly unfathomable in it's horror. I wouldn't know what to say if I were the first responder. And BOTH parents are apparently schizophrenic!?
Did no one at the first date...the wedding...the baby shower...the birth...ever come out and say "Well maybe two crazy people really shouldn't...."
Whatever she is ,this is disgusting .
