ROXBORO — The Person County Sheriff's Office believes a mother killed her own baby.
Elizabeth Richardson, 26 of Timberlake, was arrested for murder Wednesday at her father's home in Clinton.
Emergency crews were called out last month for a baby in distress in the Timberlake community. Six-month-old Devon Richardson died at UNC Hospitals two days after being declared brain dead.
Doctors say the child had been shaken and suffered a severe skull fracture from a blow to the head.
The mother is being held without bond in the Person County jail.
