SACRAMENTO — A 31-year-old Sacramento woman was arrested Sunday on suspicion of drowning her 3-year-old daughter, Sacramento police said.
Anul Malik Ram was booked into Sacramento County jail on suspicion of murder, according to jail records.
Police said they received a call at 1:19 a.m. Sunday from a father asking for a welfare check on his two children, a 7-year-old son and the daughter. Both had been picked up from his home by their mother, his estranged wife, police said.
