California woman, boyfriend accused of strangling her day-old baby in hospital
A young mother has been accused of giving birth to a healthy baby boy in a California hospital and then strangling him a day later in the maternity ward with her boyfriend.
Doctors at St. John’s Medical Center in Oxnard made every effort to revive Baby Diego on Friday over a 10-hour period before declaring him dead, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Sgt. Brandon Ordelheide said the mother, Andrea Torralba, 20, and her boyfriend, David Villa, 21, told investigators Friday morning they had suffocated Baby Diego until he was unconscious, the paper reported.
Records showed both Torralba and Villa were born in Mexico; their citizenship status was unclear.

The sergeant said Torralba told investigators she didn’t want the baby and Villa was not the father, the paper reported.
Villa's occupation was listed in online jail records as "field worker."
