NASSAU- A mother who admitted to abusing her daughter prior to her murder is expecting another child.
Ostonya Walker, 30, has been remanded to prison to await sentencing for exposing four-year-old D’onya “Bella” Walker to grievous harm and child cruelty.
Walker’s live-in boyfriend Darion Smith was sentenced to 25 years in prison for Bella’s murder as part of a plea deal.
Smith beat the child on November 5, 2021 while Walker was at work, causing fatal injuries.
However, Walker admitted to physically abusing her daughter in the lead up to her death.
Justice Renae McKay will hear sentencing submissions on March 1 after receiving a probation report.
Public defender Dorsey McPhee said Walker is due to give birth soon.
