FILICIDE: Mississippi: Terrie Robinson, child found in oven

A mother is accused of murdering her three-year-old son whose charred body was found in her oven.
Terrie A. Robinson, 24, from Mississippi, was arrested yesterday after police found her son Tristan's burned body inside the electric oven at her apartment.
Washington County Coroner Methel Johnson said the child had been burned in the oven, but an autopsy was ordered to determine whether he died before or after being put there.
The child's body was still warm when it was removed from the appliance.
Mr Johnson said of the incident: 'This is a really sad moment for me. I've seen a lot of things, but this is one that will stick in my memory for a long, long time.'
There appeared to be some trauma to the three-year-old's  head and it was possible that could have happened before he was placed in the oven.
Officers found the body after responding to an emergency call, but no details were released at this time.

FILICIDE: Mississippi: Terrie Robinson put her live child in the oven

HOLBROOK MOHR   03/ 4/11

JACKSON, Miss. — A toddler whose body was found inside the electric oven at his family's home died from heat injuries, according to preliminary results from medical examiners released Friday.
Washington County Coroner Methel Johnson said the pathologist was still trying to determine if 3-year-old Tristan Robinson was conscious when he was put inside the oven. He also appeared to have suffered trauma to his head.
Greenville Police found the boy's body at his mother's apartment Wednesday after responding to an emergency call just after midnight. The mother, 24-year-old Terrie A. Robinson, has been charged with murder. She is being held on a $5 million bond.
Police have declined to release many details because of the ongoing investigation.
Johnson said a little girl found in the home was placed in the care of the Mississippi Department of Human Services.
"I've seen a lot of things in my years doing this, but nothing like this," Johnson said. "I just thought about my grandchildren."
Terrie Robinson's twin sister, Sherrie Robinson, told WXVT-TV that people should not judge her sister before all the facts are known.
"She was a great parent, a good person. We don't know what's wrong. We don't know what happened. Do not sit there and call her a bad mom cause that's not what she is," Sherrie Robinson told the TV station.
