Police: Baby girl killed in fire likely to cover-up murder

Police sources believe the fire that killed the 1-month old was set to cover up the murder of her mother who was found stabbed

BRONX, N.Y. — A 1-month old “beautiful” baby girl was killed last night in a Bronx apartment fire likely set to cover up the murder of her mother, who was found dead with multiple stab wounds, police sources said.

Horrified firefighters — who believed they were responding to a routine apartment blaze on Albany Crescent in Kingsbridge — tried desperately to revive the infant, performing CPR on her atop a car on the street, authorities said.

But she was pronounced dead of smoke inhalation at Jacobi Hospital shortly afterward.
