An eight-month-old baby is recovering in the hospital after having both her hands chopped off by her own grandmother.

STORY: Get Well Soon! 50 Cent Injured In Car Accident

The horrific incident took place when the grandmother was caring for the little girl while her parents were at work.

The grandmother’s motives have not yet been disclosed, as she’s been in a coma since the incident, after she also attempted to kill herself.

According to a neighbor: 

“I saw the woman (the mother) came back home after work in the early afternoon but only 10 minutes later she dashed down holding her baby, who was covered with blood. The baby’s hands were gone. The mother called her husband, asking him to go back home to pick up the chopped hands. She said the baby’s hands were chopped off by her mother, who also chopped herself, trying to commit suicide.”

This neighbor witnessed the aftermath of the incident and accompanied the mother to the hospital.

Doctors do not yet know whether the girl’s hands can be saved after they carried out a 12-hour operation in an attempt to re-attach them.

If the operation is successful, it is likely the eight-month-old will need further procedures to restore full function.
