Grandma hits her 2-year-old granddaughter to death and keeps her little body lifeless in a cool box

La Tonya Austin, 43, is accused of causing the girl a posthumous injury by filling her body in a coldbox after beating. The child's body was found in garbage bags.

Austin viciously attacked Zalila Lee, who died of severe trauma in her head, said county prosecutor Hamilton Joe Detters.

The wife from Cincinnati, then put Zaila's body in a refreshing box, which caused her to suffer a broken arm and deep cut into the skin, said Detters.

It is impossible to understand the corruption of an individual able, not only to hit a two-year-old so hard to cause her death, but to then try to hide that crime by putting the child's lifeless body in a cooling box. As a father and grandfather, I am disgusted with”, Deters said in a statement.

The Hamilton County forensics Office ruled that Zalla's death was a murder caused by the great force of impact.
Austin was charged with serious murder, murder, and serious assault. She, earlier was accused of serious abuse of a corpse as well as manipulation of evidence. Austin could face life imprisonment if convicted on all counts against her.

However, Grandma's parole guarantee amounted to $500,000.

I'm saying a prayer for the brothers and sisters of this victim and members of the Cincinnati Police Department, who had to work and investigate this terrible scene, Detters said.
