An east Texas mother accused of killing her baby sitter to keep the woman from testifying in a child welfare hearing has been charged with capital murder.

Forty-three-year-old Kimberly Cargill of Whitehouse was already jailed on a charge of injury to a child when the murder charge was added Friday.

Prosecutors allege in court records that Cargill killed Cherry Walker to keep her from testifying in a Child Protective Services hearing regarding Cargill's 4-year-old son.

Walker's body was found on the side of a road in June.

Cargill was being held on bonds totaling $1.5 million. Her attorney declined to comment to The Associated Press.

Whitehouse is about 110 miles east of Dallas.

how does a person get to that place where you arbitrarily decide to kill someone in cold blood?
