A
man has been jailed for 100 years after he was caught on CCTV repeatedly
throwing his three-year-old stepdaughter in a swimming pool, eventually causing
her to drown. The incident on 12 August 2015, occurred at a hotel in the city
of Morelia, in the south-western Mexican state of Michoacan.
In
shocking surveillance footage, Jose David N. is seen on several occasions
throwing the child who was unable to swim, into the water, leaving her scared
and frantic.
On
another occasion he throws her into the water fully clothed and walks away,
only returning to throw her in the water again. At one point in the video he is
seen in the pool, appearing to hold her head down under the water for several
seconds.
A
third time, after he throws her into the middle of the pool, the child
struggles to stay afloat. With her arms flailing she pleads for help, but he
stands motionless watching her. He eventually throws out a lifebuoy but
deliberately throws it too far for her to reach it.
The
child was helplessly struggling for her life, but neither her step-father nor
the other bathers did anything to try and save her.
The
youngster's mother, who is a nurse, had left the child in the care of her
step-father while she was sleeping in their hotel room. She later found the
lifeless girl slumped in front of the TV. After realising that she was not
breathing, the couple took the child to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Jose
was arrested and detained a short time later. While he was aware that his
stepdaughter could not swim he expressed surprise after being told that she had
drowned, the court heard. The mother claimed she did not know her daughter was
being mistreated until she saw the shocking video clips.
Jose
refused to testify during the murder trial, but was convicted based on the
incriminating video footage, Mail Online reports. Judges Juan Salvador Alonso Mejia, Ana
Lilia Garcia Cardona and Noe Reyes Millan found him guilty of aggravated
murder.
He
was initially jailed with no possibility of parole after prosecutors
recommended a prison sentence of up to 40 years, however after reviewing the
horrifying video the judge increased the sentence to 100 years.
The
judge, Garcia Cardona, who read the sentence, said Jose threw the toddler into
the pool several times, and dragged her by the hair under the water. He then
held her body in such a position that she was unable to breathe.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
