A mother has just been arrested, six years after participating in the murder of her child. Police found his body in a burnt-out house in Illinois.
Child murders are always very shocking. But they are all the more so when the culprits are the parents. This is particularly the case of the disabled six-year-old boy who could have been killed by his mother. But also of this young girl killed by her father, without forgetting the famous killing of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès who would have imitated a serial killer. But the new sordid story that is currently talking about took place six years ago. In the United States, in Illinois, the police had found the lifeless body of a little girl, in the attic of a burnt down house.
The facts go back to July 3, 2017. His mother is accused of having deliberately set fire to this uninhabited house, in order to cover up the murder of his daughter. During the investigation, the firefighters found that the start of the fire was indeed criminal. They then discovered the body of a little girl, wrapped in a plastic bag. This house was uninhabited. During the autopsy of the girl, the investigators discovered that she was died a few days before the fire. Traces alcohol, sedatives and cannabis were found in his body. But what happened?

Murder of her baby: the mother was arrested six years later
The investigation revealed that on the day of the death of the little girl, the mother and father were staying at the hotel. The mother had left her daughter alone with her companion to go to work. “When she returned, she walked into the hotel room and observed the victim on the bed. She didn’t seem to be breathing. She went to wake the little girl, but she didn’t move,” said the prosecutor.
Then, instead of calling for help, the mother would have gone to take a shower. His companion would then have embarked the inert body of the little one, would have tied it in its car seat and would have led it to this abandoned house before setting it on fire. The girl’s mother has just been arrested six years after the events. She is accused of “child endangerment”of “concealment and complicity in murder”. An arrest warrant has been issued for his companion.
