SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) : A 27-year-old woman has been charged with murder for allegedly throwing her five-month-old daughter from a roof late last year, Jamaican police said on Sunday.

Authorities said in a statement that the woman was at home with some relatives and her partner in early December when she became angry that he didn’t want to immediately talk about their relationship and stormed out of a room with the baby.

The police said she then went to the building’s third floor and threw the girl, named Destiny, to the concrete below.

The girl was taken to a hospital, where she died, the police said.
