Mom Who Brutally Killed Her Daughter Gets A Taste Of Prison Justice
A British mother who murdered her daughter was reportedly attacked by fellow inmates in prison.
Kathryn Smith was found guilty of murdering her daughter, Ayeeshia, by punching her in the chest and stamping on her, the Mirror reported.
“Stop, mommy, stop, daddy,” neighbors reportedly heard the 21-month-old child say. The girl died in the hospital in May 2014.
Ayeeshia died from a tear to her heart as the result of a blow to the chest. The girl was hit so hard she bit through her own tongue.
Smith, who is serving a minimum 24-year sentence at a women’s prison, was attacked by two inmates in a stairwell, reports the Mirror. Other inmates reportedly stood around and watched. That part of the prison was not under video surveillance.
Smith reportedly howled in pain while being stabbed with a homemade knife during the four-minute attack. She was left with a 1-inch cut across her cheek.
“There had been a lot of talk about attacking Smith, but most people wouldn’t go through with it as they don’t want time added on to their sentences,” a source who witnessed the attack said. “But these two really went for it and left her in a bad way.”
The witness said, “No one had any sympathy for Smith. Some staff was saying, ‘What goes around comes around.’”
A prison official denied that a weapon was used against Smith in the assault and claims that disciplinary action was taken against the attackers.
