Couple Taunted Starving Toddler With Food As She Starved To Death
It boggles my mind at the amount of stories I see everyday with parents murdering their own children.
In this instance, it was a slow and painful death complete with the parents taunting her with food while she literally starved to death...
A Utah couple accused of killing their 3-year-old daughter taunted the "extremely malnourished" little girl with food and attempted to cover up her injuries with makeup, prosecutors said.
Angelina Costello was found July 6 in the family home in Ogden after her parents called police to report she wasn't breathing. Her body was filled with burns, cuts and bruises, some of which appeared to be fresh, according to police.
The child's facial features were "sunken in, void of definition from muscle or fat," according to charging documents obtained by KFOR.
Parents Brenda Emile and Miller Costello could face the death penalty after being charged with aggravated murder.
Emile, 22, would tell police that she used makeup to conceal some of her daughter's injuries "so they didn't look as bad," according to the charges.Investigators found cellphone videos that show Angelina's condition growing worse over an 18-month period before her "extremely malnourished" body was found at the home.
Costello can be seen in one video using the feet of an infant to kick Angelina in the face, according to prosecutors. -(NY Daily News)
