A 5-year-old girl, identified as Mercedes Losoya, died after the torture she suffered at the hands of her mother and her partner in San Antonio, Texas, in U.S. Her mother was the one who took her to the hospital.

Doctors said the girl’s body showed that she had been the victim of “extreme physical abuse.”

The mother’s partner, José Ángel Ruiz, was arrested for the death of the 5-year-old girl and two days later the mother, Katrina Mendoza, was captured.

The woman stated that she had asked her partner to discipline the minor and the torture began three weeks before the fatal outcome.

According to her, Ruiz he made her eat dog feces girl 5 years old while yelling at him. In addition, she wet a stocking with urine and put it in her mouth. When she pulled it out she knocked out two of his teeth.

He added that the man hit him several times with his belt or his hands.

But the woman’s partner denied everything and said that the mother was responsible for the torture.

About the torn hair, he assured that the 6-year-old sister had done it, but the girl gave a version that coincided with what her mother expressed.
