9-year-old girl beat 4-year-old brother to death with broomstick
A 9-year-old Mobile, Alabama, girl has been charged with assault involving an incident that led to the death of her 4-year-old brother, according to officials. Upon arrival, officers found the 4-year-old boy unresponsive inside the home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The child’s charge is the second one in the incident. The boy’s aunt and caregiver, 53-year-old Yolanda Coale, was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated child abuse. Detectives found signs that the boy had suffered from long-term abuse. Coale’s bond is set at $150,000.
The records also accuse the 9-year-old of beating the 4-year-old with a broomstick and that there’s a history of abuse at the home.
Multiple agencies, including the Mobile Police Department and Mobile-Fire Rescue, are still investigating the incident.
