A live-in maid at a waterfront mansion on Long Island was busted for coldly tossing her dead newborn girl out with the trash, police said.
Santos Elena Ruiz Solano, 26, gave birth Sunday at the $1.3 million, white-pillared home — owned by a jet-setting banker — in West Islip, police said.
The “fully developed’’ baby had suffered traumatic head injuries and died at the scene only minutes Âafter being born, according to cops.
There was no word on how the fatal injuries occurred.
Authorities said complications growing out of the birth led Solano to seek medical care.
So she allegedly tossed the infant’s body in a plastic bag and went with her husband to a nearby hospital, carrying the bag.
The body was soon discovered in a garbage can near the hospital.
Cops caught up with Solano — who on her days off lives in Central Islip with her husband — on Thursday and charged her with second-degree murder. She was to be arraigned on Friday.
She has two children in Honduras, Newsday reported.
Her husband and the family for whom she worked had no idea she was pregnant, according to the Âpaper.
The report said her husband didn’t realize that she had given birth until they got to the hospital.
Solano had been working at the mansion for only three weeks.
A neighbor, Jim Schlauch, said of the tragedy, “I couldn’t believe it when I heard about it.’’
The stunning mansion is owned by Raymond Figalora, 64, a senior home-loan officer at Flagstar Bank, of Michigan.
