Mother & Grandmother Charged With MURDER After 9-Year-Old Girl Dies From Head Lice

A mother and grandmother from Arizona have been charged with first-degree murder following the death of a 9-year-old girl. In March, Sandra and Elizabeth Kraykovitch were charged with child abuse following the death of the young girl.

Further investigation into the gruesome case, however, concluded that the charge of child abuse may not be enough for the two women.

The Tucson Police Department responded to a call from the Tucson Fire Department in March regarding an unresponsive child. Police reports state that “large amounts of bugs” began to cover the child’s face, and despite their best efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene with “enormous amounts of lice in her hair”.

If her grandchild was so severely sick, why would her being unconscious be a reason not to get her help?! Well, her other excuse is even more shocking — Elizabeth claims she didn’t take her child to the emergency room BECAUSE of the lice infestation!
