Rebecca and the dead child
A
21-year-old woman, Rebecca Bassey, has been arrested by the Lagos State
Police Command for allegedly beating her husband’s three-year-old
niece, Deborah Bassey, to death. According to police authorities, the suspect beat up the girl because she vomited and defecated on herself.
Masquerade234 gathered that the victim (Deborah) lost her
mother in 2010. Early this year, Deborah’s father was evicted from his
home and he decided to send Deborah and his second child to go and stay
with his brother, Vincent, until he settles down.
“Deborah and her nine-year-old sister
were living with Vincent and his wife, Rebecca, in a one-room apartment
at Powerline, Jankara, Ijaiye Ojokoro. However, Rebecca was always
maltreating the two children.”
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 the girl till she died.
People what is the world turning to, where those expected to be mother cannot show care, those expected to be guardians defile innocent children, is this the pang of poverty? your opinion matters here
