A MUM accused of murdering her newborn daughter tried to blame her three-year-old son for her death, legal documents claim.
Halle Marie Murry, 25, has been charged with the murder of six-week-old Acelyn Lailani Rogers after it was confirmed she died from “blunt force trauma to the head”.
According to an arrest warrant, Murry, from Fort Worth, Texas, took her daughter to Cook Children’s Hospital on January 14.
When an officer asked one of the doctors about the girl’s condition, he said it was “one of the worst skull fractures he has ever seen.”
FRACTURED SKULL
Murry told cops that she’d fallen asleep with her daughter on her chest – but woke to find her “unresponsive” in another room, with her toddler son standing over her.
She told doctors that her son had injured the girl – and claimed a metal fidget spinner he had in his hand matched the marks on the girl’s head.
But the doctor said there was no way a three-year-old could have caused that amount of damage to the girl’s skull.
JAILED
An affidavit, written by crimes against children Detective C. West, and seen by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says: “Halle had access to her apartment prior to officers being able to secure the scene.
“It wasn’t until after she realized her initial story about how the injuries may have happened were questioned, that she gave inconsistent statements as to what she actually did at the apartment prior to officers securing the scene.”

When she returned to the hospital, Murry was heard giving varying accounts of why she had returned to her apartment, the document claims.
An autopsy carried out on Acelyn confirmed that the infant had died of multiple fractures caused by repeated blows to the head.
Three days after the baby’s death a drug screening by Child Protective Services also revealed that Murry and her son had tested positive for cocaine.
Murry is being held in Tarrant County Jail and her son was taken into state custody.
