Queensland Woman Accused of Cutting Baby In Half

This is just incrediblly cruel:

A woman accused of drowning a newborn baby before cutting it in half has faced a committal hearing in far north Queensland.

Violet Flora Evans, 52, today faced Cairns Magistrates Court charged with murder, concealing a birth and interfering with a corpse.

The baby’s severed torso was found on a Mooroobool driveway on May 4, 1996.

It is alleged the baby was drowned, cut in half and buried, before dogs dragged the dismembered body to the driveway.

Evans was charged last August after new information became available through DNA technology and a public tip-off.  [9 News]
