Johnesha Monae Perry, 19, is charged with killing her son, Zymeir Perry, of Allentown, PA in USA, who died Saturday, AP reported.

The woman gave her 1-year-old son a kiss before pushing him off a bridge into a river and jumping in after him, Police said Monday as they announced she was being charged with homicide.

Perry jumped in after pushing him over the railing. She was found along the riverbank and taken to a hospital, then to jail, where she is being held without bail.

Police said Perry told them she intended to kill her son when she threw him off the Hamilton Street Bridge in Allentown. Her potential motive was not revealed. Her public defender declined to comment.

 

The child fell more than 50 feet into the Lehigh River. Police pulled him out about 700 yards downstream, but he had no pulse. The child "appeared to be engorged with water and had a swollen face," according to court documents.

Emergency personnel eventually revived him, but he was declared brain dead six days later and removed from life support.

An autopsy performed Monday found he died from complications of blunt force trauma and drowning.
