"A 28-year-old Queens mother was charged with murder Monday night after police said they found her in a Jamaica home with her 15-month-old son, who was unconscious at the time and was later declared dead at a local hospital. Nicole Boodhai was arrested around 7:30 p.m., about six hours after NYPD officers responding to a 911 call about an assault found her at the toddler's home on 157th Street near 109th Avenue, officials said."
"Police said she had slashes to her wrists and was taken to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition, along with the boy, Charlie Ramraykha. Authorities said they are still investigating how exactly Ramraykha died and a potential motive. They did not have an immediate description of any injuries he sustained. Boodhai was also charged with endangering a child's welfare in connection with Ramraykha's death. Officials said she lives at a different Jamaica address, several blocks from his home."
