Bay Area Woman Accused of Killing Her 2 'Best Friends' Hours Apart
Prosecutors say Anila Baby killed both women about 90 minutes apart and faces 50 years to life if convicted.
- On Thursday, Anila Baby appeared in Santa Clara County Superior Court, where prosecutors arraigned the 32-year-old on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of friends Ann Mary Mathew and Anjana Hari.
- Prosecutors allege Baby strangled and stabbed Mathew at her San Jose home on Aug. 28 before driving to a Milpitas apartment complex and intentionally running over Hari approximately 90 minutes later.
- Investigators linked Baby to both scenes using DNA evidence and blood stains on her clothing; police discovered Mathew's missing cell phone inside Baby's Toyota Highlander SUV.
- Baby remains in custody without bail and faces a potential sentence of 50 years to life, as Deputy District Attorney Marisa McKeown described the crimes as "willful, premeditated and extremely violent."
- The court scheduled Baby to return for a plea hearing on Nov. 17, while reports suggest her mental health following a job loss may become a central issue in the case.
