A 22-year-old man suspected of raping and using a cord to kill his 9-month-old daughter was arrested by Tennessee police Wednesday.
Christopher Paul Conway was charged with homicide and aggravated rape in the death of the toddler, the Clarksville Police Department said in a statement.
A cord was wrapped around the girls neck and was the cause of her death, police said.

Authorities originally responded to the child’s home on Tuesday after they received a 911 call about CPR being performed on the girl.
The girl was then taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Online jail records don't indicate whether Conway has an attorney.
Conway's Facebook page indicates he's an Army combat medic from Grand Bay, Ala. and is a married father of twin girls, The Leaf Chronicle reported.
Neighbors told the newspaper the girls were twins, and a vehicle with Alabama plates was in the driveway.
