Keizer woman charged in son’s strangling death
SALEM, Ore. (AP) – A Keizer woman has been formally charged with killing her 12-year-old son.
Amy Marie Robertson was charged with aggravated murder Tuesday and ordered to be jailed without bail.
Police say they responded to a reported homicide at the 38-year-old woman’s home in Keizer on Saturday to find Caden Berry dead.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office determined the child died from asphyxiation due to strangulation.
Keizer police say they have no record of receiving any reports of abuse at Robertson’s home.
The boy’s death remains under investigation.
