ILLINOIS-(MaraviPost)-American woman, Cynthia Baker, 41, has been found guilty of murder after kicking her boyfriends daughter to death.
Baker battered eight-year-old, Rica at her home in Illinois by punching her for “entertainment” and treated her as a “punching bag”.
In one of the clips of evidence presented before court, Baker is seen using a twisted ‘discipline’ method on Rica – who was seen naked while struggling to hold two cans in her arms, which are stretched far apart.
Evidence has also revealed that few days before her death, Rica suffered intestinal perforation as a result of being kicked by her mother until her intestines ripped and she could no longer walk.
Forensic pathologist Dr John Denton found the youngster had more than 50 injuries across he body.
Court had found Baker guilty of first degree murder, aggravated battery, three counts of domestic battery and endangering the life of a child and she awaits for the sentence.
