Former Manchester U. student arrested in death of infant son

NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. (AP) - Police say a former Manchester University student has been charged with murder and neglect in the death of her infant son.

Indiana State Police say 21-year-old Mikayla Munn was arrested Monday afternoon at her Elkhart home and taken to the Wabash County Jail in Wabash.

Police say first responders called to Munn's dormitory room on March 8 found the woman and the boy in a bathtub and the infant wasn't breathing. He was later pronounced dead.

Police say "inconsistent information" led to an investigation and probable cause to arrest Munn on the charges she faces. Police did not reveal any other details from their investigation.

It's unclear if Munn has an attorney who might comment on her case.

A university spokeswoman says Munn dropped out shortly after the death.

The story has been corrected to show first responders were called March 8, not March 28, and that Munn is a former student, not a current one.
