Nausheen Rahman, 28, pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree murder and one count of concealment of a human corpse. She is being held without bail.
After giving birth inside her home, Rahman
allegedly cut the umbilical cord of her baby daughter, who was still
breathing, placed her in a plastic bag, and threw her in a garbage can
outside her Staten Island residence on March 11, according to the Staten
Island District Attorney's Office and a criminal complaint. Prosecutors said Rahman's parents later took her

first, Rahman allegedly denied having a baby, but later admitted to
giving birth and disposing of her daughter who was alive, prosecutors
said. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/long-island-woman-charged-death-newborn-daughter-n549791
