WOMAN BEATS 3 YEAR OLD GIRL TO DEATH FOR VOMITING. HOW SAD!!! WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE SO MEAN TO KIDS THAT ARE NOT THEIR? According to a story by Punchng, a 21-year-old woman, Rebecca Bassey, (pictured above) has been arrested for allegedly beating her husband’s three-year-old niece, Deborah Bassey, to death. Rebecca is accused of beating Deborah at their home in Ijaiye Ojokoro, Lagos on July 22nd because the little girl vomited and defecated on herself. According to police investigations, on the day of the incident, Deborah woke up around 5.30am with a high temperature. The three-year-old girl was said to have started vomiting and defecating soon after. This was said to have angered Rebecca, who instead of administering treatment to the child, decided to beat her up. A police source said, “In the process of beating the girl, the suspect pushed her and she fell, hitting her head against the edge of a wooden chair in the room.” PUNCH Metro learnt that the victim started to bleed from the head. Some neighbours rushed her to Ahmadiyya Hospital, where she was referred to Orile Agege General Hospital where she later died. A woman leader in the area, Kudirat Ogunseyi, was said to have reported the matter to Ijaye Ojokoro Police Division after which the suspect was arrested. Some neighbours, in their statements at the police station, described the suspect as a hot-tempered woman, who was fond of beating the children. “The way that woman beats up the children was very worrying to the extent that the landlord had threatened to evict them,” one of the statements reads. Vincent told the police that he was not present when his wife beat his niece to death. “I was not at home when the incident happened. I am a photographer during daytime but I work as a vigilante group member. So I hardly sleep at home,” he said. The suspect however said she did not kill the victim deliberately. She said she only pushed Deborah and she hit her head against the chair. “I am a housewife and I have a 10-month-old baby. I did not mean to kill her (Deborah). I only pushed her because she vomited and defecated on the floor. I was only trying to correct her. It was not deliberate. I am a mother too and I know how I would feel if my son was killed,” she said. May her gentle soul rest in peace
