Parents leave their dead daughter on the floor for days

After a 12 year old is beaten to death by her parents, they proceed to leave her body on the floor for a few days before they call the police. They probably decided to do that after the body’s odor overcame them.

Wow. Just Wow.

PHOENIX — A 12-year-old girl was beaten with an electrical cord, and her parents left her dead body on the floor of her bedroom for days before they called 911, according to court documents released Tuesday.

Police arrested the girl’s father, 34-year-old Jeffrey Duchane Jr., and stepmother, 25-year-old Reiko Troupe, after officers were called to the house on Saturday. Troupe was jailed on suspicion of first-degree murder and child abuse. Duchane was jailed on suspicion of child abuse.

Both were scheduled to appear in Maricopa County Superior Court on Nov. 19. The Associated Press asked the county Sheriff’s Office to interview Duchane and Troupe, but those requests went unanswered Tuesday.

According to court documents, Troupe told police that she didn’t harm the girls and blamed Duchane for disciplining the children.

    that’s just sad. i dont understand harming a child but i cant fathom LEAVING the child on the floor for days after they’ve been killed…how do you sleep at night i don’t know what should happen to those poor excuses for parents but i do know sending them to prison would be letting them off too easy.
