AURORA, Colo.—Coroner’s officials have ruled the death of a 3-year-old girl who police said had been beaten and stabbed as a homicide, police said Thursday.
The death in April originally was ruled a suspicious death pending further investigation.
The girl’s mother, Susie Ida Quartey, was due in court Friday. Police said prosecutors indicated they would pursue charges of child abuse resulting in death.
Quartey’s attorney, Thomas Miller, has said Quartey did not beat her daughter, Jolyn. Police said Quartey told investigators she was carrying her daughter in a sling when the child fell onto rocks in their yard.
Quartey is an immigrant from Ghana.
