Watkins 'stabbed and beheaded her daughter Janiyah ( above ) at her aunt 's home in College Hill last Monday before going to bed ' Watkins was arrested last week after police , responding to a 911 call on March 16 , found Jayniah Watkins decapitated on the kitchen counter in the home of an aunt who was temporarily caring for her . Authorities said the baby had been stabbed multiple times with a large chef 's knife and that she also had a fractured arm , and the knife had been placed in her hand . Authorities say Deasia Watkins appeared to be suffering from serious mental issues when police found her covered in blood in a bed at the aunt 's home . Prosecutors have already said they wo n't seek the death penalty . Watkins was considered a threat to her child and had been 'acting crazy ' and talking about demons when a juvenile court judge earlier in March placed the baby in the custody of Hamilton County Job and Family Services . Janiyah had been placed in the aunt 's custody ( her home above ) after Watkins was hospitalized for psychiatric problems in January . Social workers later placed the baby in the aunt 's care , warning her to keep the mother away from the child unless social workers were present , authorities said . Prosecutors said the county welfare agency followed court orders in finding a relative to care for the baby and checking on her numerous time , but they said social workers did n't know the mother apparently moved into the aunt 's home about a week before the slaying . Court documents also show that Watkins was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis , and doctors declared her unsafe around the child unless she took prescribed medication .
