A 26-year-old father and a 27-year-old stepmother were charged in Hong Kong with the murder of a five-year-old girl, while the girl’s 53-year-old step-grandmother was charged with child abuse on Sunday.
At 1pm on Saturday, police received a report from a man that his five-year-old daughter had collapsed in an apartment at Tuen Mun Trend Plaza in the New Territories, Sing Tao Daily reported.
Officers found the girl unconscious; she was sent to Tuen Mun Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Police Chief Inspector Chan Yan said there were many wounds and bruises, new and old, of various sizes on the deceased girl’s legs, thighs and shoulder. Some of them were putrid and had not healed.
Meanwhile, officers also found similar wounds and bruises on the girl’s eight-year-old brother. The deceased girl and her brother appeared to have been badly malnourished.
Officers later confiscated a cane, a pair of slippers and a pair of scissors in the apartment, suspecting that the culprits had used these items to abuse the children.
It was understood that the deceased girl and her brother were living with their father, stepmother, step-grandmother and a seven-year-old stepsister, Wen Wei Pao reported, adding that no injuries and bruises were found on the stepsister.
The deceased girl had dropped out of kindergarten in late October last year, Oriental Daily reported.
A schoolteacher found wounds on her brother in November and the school social worker referred the case to the Social Welfare Department. However, police said they had no record of any child-abuse case involving the family.
Crazy
I didnt read anything saying that the child will be put in jail??
PAGDATING NG TAMANG
EDAD
NAGKAKAMALI PO KAYO MAAM PAJOYO. DPO IKIKULONG ANG MGA BATA SA ATIN PO. LALONG LALO NA PONG HINDI ANG DSWD ANG MAGDADALA SA MGA BATA SA KULUNGAN.
UNDER THE CARE OF DSWD PO MUNA ANG MGA BATANG MAY GINAWANG KASALANAN AT OAGDATING NG TAMANG EFAD SAKA NILA ITURN OVER SA MGA MGA PULIS.????
That’s right!
Eileen Pajoyo nde po kinukulong ang mga bata s pinas kpa under age pa????
Beth Castillo. Kaluka naman mag comment..yon nd rin iniisip bago mag comment..
The report didn’t mention anything about the 7 years old step sister abusing the girl. It only mentioned that the step sister had no bruises etc. Read the report again and don’t make such accusation of puttting a 7 years old in jail…
Sa pinas makukulong ung bata pagdating ng tamang edad…pero inilalagay sila sa DSWD habang menor de edad pa xa…
The child is untouched while the two child is being beaten and malnourished and they live together in one roof,any child that is already 6years old is aware of his her environment especially when there is a bias treatment that is happening in the home,that child should protect those two other child by stepping on their behalf and stop her granny and mom of hurting the two kids,but she’s a product of two hatedul creature so she must be one of them…
On probation under Dswd care n guidance ..should be
kahit sa pinas meron yan.dswd ang magdala ng bata sa kulungan.
