SACRAMENTO, Calif (Reuters) – A California mother was arrested and charged with murder on Tuesday after police said she cooked her baby in a microwave.

Ka Yang, 29, was taken into custody three months after her week-old baby was found dead, Sacramento Police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong said.

Leong said it took several months to determine the child's burns did indeed come from a microwave, using medical analysis and findings from three other U.S. cases.

Among them was a case involving Dayton, Ohio, woman convicted this year of baking her baby in a microwave.

Yang's baby was found dead at the family's residence on March 17, after a male relative called to report the incident, Leong said.

Child welfare workers have since removed Yang's three boys, who are all under age 7, from her home, Leong said.
