Queensland Woman Charged With Torture After 10-Year-Old Found Critically Malnourished

The case now advances to Beenleigh Magistrates Court following a police probe at a Logan Reserve home.

Overview

  • Police charged a 40-year-old woman with one count of torture and three counts of failing to supply necessaries in relation to a 10-year-old girl.
  • The girl was taken to Queensland Children’s Hospital in February with dehydration, critical malnutrition and significant untreated injuries, and she remains in intensive care in a stable condition.
  • After the hospital admission, investigators declared the family home in Logan Reserve a crime scene as they gathered evidence.
  • The accused is scheduled to appear at the Beenleigh Magistrates Court, marking the start of the court process.
  • In Queensland law, failing to supply necessaries refers to not providing essential care such as food, shelter or medical treatment to someone in your charge.
