SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (AP) -- Relatives of the mother of a 3 1/2-week-old boy found dismembered in his bedroom say she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and postpartum psychosis.
The father of the slain baby says he wants her executed.
Scott W. Buchholtz, who called his son "baby Scotty," told the San Antonio Express-News on Monday that 33-year-old Otty Sanchez should "pay the ultimate price" in the death of Scott Wesley Buchholtz-Sanchez.
Relatives and Buchholtz told the newspaper her mental health deteriorated in the week before the infant's death Sunday.
Buchholtz said she kept telling him she needed to see a counselor.
Sanchez told detectives she had been hearing voices.
Sanchez is charged with capital murder in the death of her son.
She was hospitalized with self-inflicted stab wounds, and was being held on $1 million bail.
