GWINNETT COUNTY, GA (TCD) — A 34-year-old woman who beat her stepdaughter with a rolling pin has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a couple.
On January 30 at 2:16 p.m., Gwinnett County Police and EMS responded to a medical call on Vine Springs Trace and found the 8-year-old victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the girl was at the home with Natiella Barros and that she “suffered some type of medical emergency.”
Barros contacted the girl's father, who returned home, called 911 and began CPR on the girl.
Gwinnett County police announced that homicide detectives arrested Barros and charged her with child endangerment, aggravated assault, felonious assault and malicious murder. The next day, January 31, the girl's father, Cledir Barros, was arrested on charges of second-degree child abuse and second-degree murder. Both men are being held without bail.
According to an arrest warrant cited by WAGA-TV, Natiella Barros reportedly hit the victim, Seira Barros, 10 to 20 times with a wooden rolling pin and then refused medical treatment. Sayra Barros reportedly suffered injuries to the “top back of her neck.”
“You’re going to be here for a while,” the judge told Natiela Barros, WAGA reported.
