HOUSTON - The medical examiner’s office has determined a cause of death in the case of an infant found dead in southwest Houston. Investigators say the mother has confessed to the crime, and an autopsy shows the child was buried alive.
At a probable cause hearing on Friday morning, Harris County prosecutors formally charged 28-year-old Narjes Golabbakhsh with capital murder.
An Amber Alert was issued for Golabbakhsh’s 2-month-old son, Masih, on Wednesday. The mother told police she was pushing the boy in a stroller when several men snatched the child and ran away .
Later, investigators said the mother broke down and confessed to burying the child near a home in the 8000 block of Woodway Drive.
According to an autopsy report from the medical examiner’s office, the boy was buried alive face-down in a muddy pool of water.
"The autopsy noted water and mud in the complainant's lungs, stomach, and ear way, concluding the complainant was alive prior to being placed face-down in the muddy water and buried," read a court official on Thursday.
Prosecutors waited to verify the cause of death before filing charges against the mother.
In court, they said Golabbakhsh had mud on her clothing consistent with the mud at the crime scene.
The mom was not in court Friday as the details of the investigation were read aloud.
Officials have placed her in a psychiatric ward for mental evaluation.
Family members who spoke to FOX 26 on Thursday said prior to her arrest, the mom had been undergoing treatment for mental illness and that she was taking medication.
The suspect also has a 3-year-old child, according to the family.
