Ecuador child femicide investigation

Overview

In Ecuador, a judge has ordered preventive detention for a 21-year-old woman, Lizbeth T. Ch., suspected of being a co-author in the femicide of her 3-year-old daughter in Latacunga.

Evidence presented by the Fiscalía General del Estado, including autopsy reports, indicates the child died from violent internal hemorrhaging. Investigations suggest the abuse began on August 3, involving the child's stepfather, and continued when the mother allegedly struck the child with a belt. The child was found without vital signs at a hospital on August 5 with extensive bruising.
