A two year-old girl died after she was maltreated and beaten black and blue by her  two aunts Saturday afternoon in Taguig City. Her elder brother was badly hurt.

Police identified the victim as Justine Fabellon. She died at the Taguig-Pateros District Hospital from hematoma and severe contusions. Her elder brother Gaylord, 7, also suffered injuries and contusions from beatings  by their aunts Kristine Pabellon, 25 and Irene Salazar, 48, both residents of Blk 26 Lot 4, Zamboanga St., Maharlika Village.

According to Gaylord, their aunts find them naughty and irritating and started maltreating them.

He  said their aunts pinched and hit them with the hard plastic cover of a water drum         Then they were slapped and their heads were pushed to the ground.

The maltreatment went on as they were hit with slippers and hard objects. Furious Irene picked up Justine and throw  her to the wall that caused the victim to vomit and become weak.

The suspects deny maltreating the young victims saying Justine died from dehydration.
