Seven year old girl dies from couple’s beating
A teenage girl and her boyfriend (pictured right) have been charged with beating the girl’s 7-year-old sister to death while imitating moves from Mortal Kombat.
Heather Trujillo, 16, and her boyfriend Lamar Roberts, 17, were babysitting young Zoe and her 3-year-old twin sisters. According to Trujillo, the two teens began practicing Mortal Kombat moves on Zoe, who later died from blunt force trauma to her brain and central nervous system.
According to the police, Trujillo admitted that she punched Zoe “in the stomach, karate chopped her lower arms, punched and pinched the victim’s thighs, kicked her in the shins, slapped her stomach and buttocks and poked at the victim’s chest.” Roberts told police that Zoe asked the pair to stop hurting her, but that he didn’t because he was drunk.
Trujillo and Roberts are being held on $100,000 bail each, and are being charged as adults.
