COLUMBUS, Ohio — Authorities say a 17-year-old girl has been charged with murder in the stabbing death of her 1-year-old daughter in Ohio’s capital city of Columbus.

Police say Lachelle Anderson was arrested and has been charged with murder.

It’s unclear if Anderson has an attorney who could comment on her behalf.
