Dad of missing baby "allegedly" thrown off bridge due in court (Newark, New Jersey)

We've reported on dad SHAMSID-DIN ABDUR-RAHEEM before. Last I heard, he was on suicide watch and under intensive supervision. So I guess his @$$ is still alive. Wish we could say as much for his infant daughter, who is apparently dead and lost somewhere in the Raritan River.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man charged with murder for allegedly throwing his 3-month-old daughter off the Garden State Parkway's Driscoll Bridge is due in court Monday.

Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem of Galloway Township is charged with killing Zara Malani-lin Abdur after allegedly snatching her from the care of her maternal grandmother Feb. 16.

Prosecutors charge that Abdur-Raheem tossed the baby from the bridge in Middlesex County over the Raritan River.

The child has not been found.

Abdur-Raheem has already pleaded not guilty to various charges, including attempted murder for allegedly assaulting the baby's grandmother during the abduction.
