Woman sought in son’s slaying arrested
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.

Thank God they picked this girl up!! Sad thing is…she’s 5 months pregnant again! Thank God she won’t be able to do the same thing to this poor baby!!!
-Someone took her child to the hospital in late September
-She was indicted and charged with grand larceny October 6
-The child died in the hospital October 10
-The judge issued her sentence after pleading guilty later in October
Reading the article she was charged and given a suspended sentence days before the child’s death. I’m thinking if the judge had put her in prison on the Grand Larceny charge the child would still be alive.
Jack, perhaps I’m missing something but I doubt she was charged and sentenced on the same day.
Grand Larceny, suspended sentence days before the child was killed. The judge was a party to this death. The judge should be held accountable by the people.
