A jury has convicted a California woman of first-degree murder, after she put her baby in the microwave.
The Sacramento Bee says Ka Yang, 34, faces life in prison.
The court heard that she put her daughter, Mirabelle Thao-Lo, in the microwave at her Sacramento-area home for between two and five minutes.
The baby suffered ‘extensive thermal injuries’.
When police came, Yang said she had suffered an epileptic fit and woke to find the baby near the space heater. But police later found the infant’s dummy in the microwave.
She later said she had a split personality.
Yang has been sentenced to 26 years to life.
Her three surviving sons are currently being cared for by family members.
