20-year-old Kelsey Smith was arrested on charges of murder, after allegedly punching his little daughter to death, prosecutors in New York said.
Brooklyn district attorney, Ken Thompson said that the suspect has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the beating to death of his three-year-old stepdaughter, Jeida Torres.
"The defendant was a father figure to these helpless children, and instead of protecting and caring for them, he allegedly used his fists to beat to death an innocent little girl. Her five-year-old brother was also attacked. Now, he will be held accountable for these cowardly acts." Thompson said.
According to reports, the defendant called his wife, Kimberly Torres, who is the mother of Jeida and Andrew and allegedly told her that he had messed up by hitting Jeida because she soiled herself. When she got home, Jeida was not breathing. She was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
