A mother accused of decapitating her three-month-old daughter had been ordered by a court to stay away from her - but an aunt who had custody of the child had allowed her to move in with them . Deasia Watkins , 20 , was charged with aggravated murder on Monday after her baby daughter , Janiyah , was found beheaded on a kitchen counter at the aunt 's house in Hamilton County , Ohio . The mother , who was diagnosed with post-partum depression earlier this year , had allegedly placed the kitchen knife in the baby 's hand after murdering her , authorities said . Her aunt was asleep at the time but a child at the home found the baby 's body and raised the alarm . Arrested : Deasia Watkins , 20 , allegedly beheaded her three-month-old daughter , Janiyah , on Monday . She had been ordered to keep away from the child after she was hospitalized for psychiatric problems . The horrific killing came after Watkins had been forbidden to have contact with the child after she was hospitalized for psychiatric problems , authorities said at a Tuesday press conference . But the aunt had apparently let Watkins move in with her and the baby about a week earlier , Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters said . Then on Monday , a five-year-old child who was at the house to catch a school bus found the baby 's body and ran outside to tell a male relative . The man woke up the aunt and she called police . In the 911 call , the aunt can be heard crying hysterically and asking for help while repeating , 'Oh , my God ! ' 'My niece killed her baby , ' she said . She told the dispatcher that she was asleep when her son , who had come to drop off the children , came in and woke her up , saying the baby was dead . The son then told the dispatcher that he had seen the baby 's body on the kitchen counter but did not know what happened . Victim : Authorities found the mother had placed the knife in baby Janiyah 's hand after killing her on Monday . Tragic : Janiyah also had multiple stab wound to her face and a broken arm , authorities have said . 'It 's a very violent scene , ' he said . Police arrived to find the baby had been decapitated and stabbed multiple times . She had also suffered a fractured arm . Authorities also found the 20-year-old mother in bed covered with blood and took her into custody . 'This is one of the most disturbing cases I have ever seen in my life , ' Deters said . Officers allegedly that Watkins smelled of marijuana and refused to hand over the baby . When they took her daughter she 'passed out with her eyes open ' , according to Cincinnati.com . She was taken to hospital for evaluation . She has been charged with aggravated murder but Deters said it was unlikely prosecutors would seek the death penalty . 'It was pretty clear to the officers involved that she is suffering from some serious mental issues , ' Deters said . Watkins gave birth to her daughter in December and suffered post-partum depression . A cousin told Cincinnati.com that he had spoken to the child 's father , who claimed the new mom had been 'acting crazy ... speaking of demons ' . The murdered baby was found inside this College Hill , Ohio home around 6am on Monday and Watkins was taken to hospital for mental evaluation . She was charged with aggravated murder . On January 25 , police reportedly went to her apartment to find the baby crying and the young mother screaming . Then on March 6 , a juvenile court judge ordered Hamilton County Job and Family Services to take custody of the baby after the young mom was hospitalized for psychiatric problems . It came after the Hamilton County Prosecutor 's Office filed a complaint that the baby girl had been neglected , WCPO reported . Deters said at the press conference on Tuesday that family services had done their jobs . HCJFS declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail Online . 'It looks like JFS did their job exactly how they should , but you do n't have the resources to be in the house 24/7 , ' Deters said . WCPO reported that Watkin 's only previous brush with the law was a fine for disorderly conduct .
