The parents of a beautiful 4-year-old girl brutally beaten to death are now behind bars. According to the Herald Review, Amarrah C. Reynolds was rushed to Decatur Memorial Hospital at approximately 3:15pm on September 1.
The police statement also revealed Amarrah had “a concentrated area of healing” consistent with previous injuries. She also had “fresh wounds on the inside of her thigh”. Since the wounds raise speculation of abuse in the home, detectives turned their attention toward her parents.
When questioned, her father, Darrell A. Reynolds, 29, made a chilling confession about the series of events that led to her death. Apparently, the ruthless act began as a form of discipline taken to extreme measures. He claimed his daughter had been “acting up lately” and time-out was no longer effective. So, he resorted to beating her with a black belt. Reynolds admitted he struck her so many times he “lost count”.
The Baby Girl Had Extensive Injuries To Her Body
Preliminary autopsy results indicated Amarrah’s death was attributed to head injuries. The child suffered “subdural hemorrhages, the medical term for bleeding in the brain, and multiple bruises consistent with blunt force trauma,” according to Macon County Coroner Michael E. Day. “The extensive injuries to the body are consistent with non-accidental, inflicted trauma,” the release said.
