Police: Suspect to be arraigned in death of newborn

The North Providence police say they plan to charge a suspect with murder in connection with the recent death of a newborn found at a home on Lori Drive.

The police say they have obtained an arrest warrant and plan to bring the suspect, a female, to Sixth District Court, Providence, for arraignment at 2 p.m. today.

A press conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. at the police station.

The baby was in a split-level ranch, at Lori and Karen Drive, the home of Charles and Francine Robat, and their three grown daughters.

The police have not said how the baby girl died or how the police found out there was a body inside the home. The police learned there was a dead baby in the house Monday.
