Story here. Excerpt:

'A Sudanese woman who emigrated to the United States in 2005 is facing a murder charge in connection with the death of her 5-month-old son.

Marlen Ramadan Taboor, 21, was arrested Friday by Henrico County police and last night was being held in the Roanoke City Jail, according to law enforcement spokesmen.

Taboor, according to online court records, was charged in Roanoke Tuesday last week with the murder of her son, Christopher George, in October last year. It was unclear last night why Taboor was in the Richmond area. She was arrested in the 6300 block of Clover Lane in Henrico, near the intersection of Lakeside Avenue and Hilliard Road.

Taboor moved to the Roanoke area from Sudan in 2005, according to a news story then in the Roanoke Times newspaper. She was charged with grand larceny days before her son's death and given a suspended prison sentence, according to court records.'
