Monroe, New York -- Father batters, abuses, murders 18-month-old baby daughter during what was apparently court-ordered visitation
"Elizabeth Guenther was pronounced dead Wednesday morning. Jackson County prosecutors charged Mark A. Guenther with three counts of first-degree assault. Additional charges are possible... 'the medical examiner noted was hemorrhaging in her eyes, which is a term that indicates that the blood vessels in her eyes had burst. This is common in strangulation cases, and that's why we charged one of the assault counts as strangulation,' Jackson County Prosecutor Jim Kanatzar said."http://www.kmbc.com/news/22521985/detail.html More:http://blogs.pitch.com/plog/2010/02/mark_guenther_charged_in_the_death_of_15-month-old_daughter.php According to comments at the preceding news story, the baby's mother had made multiple reports to child protective services, who apparently decided that that this man was not a danger to the child.
