Jamaria was reportedly living in the custody of her father’s partner, who subjected her to cruel punishments, including being forced to sit against a wall for hours, hitting her with heavy objects, kicking her and punching her.
On the day of her death, Martin beat her for hours before calling emergency services, reporting that the girl was unconscious. Jamaria was taken to a hospital, but arrived without vital signs.
A close source revealed the existence of a video showing the beating, and in which Martin is seen ordering his Rottweiler dog to attack the minor’s body.
The accused now faces trial and could be sentenced to death for this heinous crime.
