6-year-old Beaten to Death by her Mother in New York City, Begged for her Life but her Mum continued Beating
New York City, NY: The New York Police Department arrested a 23-year-old mother after she beat her daughter to death.
The tragic incident happened in the Bronx area of New York City. The neighbors claim that she begged for her life before her devastating end.
Officials said that 23-year-old Lynija Eason-Kumar was apprehended on Thursday about the early-morning May 26, 2023, murder of toddler Jalayah Eason inside the family’s rundown flat at the Forest Houses in NYCHA.
Sources indicated that the mother had initially reported the girl’s discovery of her cold and unresponsive body in a closet on the 12th floor of their East 165th Street apartment to the police.
According to the police, Eason-Kumar denied trying to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on Jalayah.
After waiting for fifteen minutes, emergency medical services hurried the youngster to Lincoln Medical Center, where she suffered visible bruises and injuries to her torso and wrists. Unfortunately, she could not be saved.
The authorities had confirmed that Jalayah had died from blunt force injuries and asphyxiation.
During the early morning beating, upstairs neighbor Dennis Rivera heard the 6-year-old daughter “screaming for her dear life,” as he had previously told The Post.
According to sources within the police department, the family’s address had multiple reports of domestic violence.
Before this, Eason was in trouble with the law for allegedly abusing her two younger children, a boy of eight years old and a girl of three years old.
A criminal complaint pertaining to that case states that when the police visited the residence on May 26, the two children had rashes, wounds, and scars.
The 8-year-old displayed “numerous minor cuts that were at different points in the healing process on his scalp, arms, and legs,” according to Hernandez’s account. A severe, partially healed gash on the boy’s scalp and a cut on his forehead were also supposedly present.
Hernandez described the girl’s appearance as having a “widespread discolored rash to her inner thighs and buttocks” in addition to a “long, discolored scar” on her waist.
As of Thursday, her arraignment was still waiting on the additional accusations, which include manslaughter as well.
