BABY THROWN FROM A BRIDGE

Monday, April 26th, 2010

A three month old baby, who was allegedly thrown by her father off a parkway bridge, may have been found over the weekend.  New Jersey State Police say they are waiting to positively identify the remains, but the body appears to be that of Zara Malani-Lin Abdur-Raheem. This information is based on the clothing and wrappings found on the child.  

Investigators say Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem, the baby’s father, allegedly snatched the child from her grandmother’s home on February 16, 2010 and threw her off the bridge.  Reports indicate Abdur-Raheem tried to strike the grandmother with a minivan after choking her when she tried to stop the abduction.  The child’s mother was working on a temporary restraining order against Abdur-Raheem before the baby was killed.

Abdur-Raheem is currently being held on a $2 million bail, and pleaded not guilty last month.
