Kash Meshetti McKinnon

Killed by stepfather Sean James Donnelly. On 19 August 2009 Sean was looking after four small children at his Hulme Street home in the suburb of Roslyn in Palmerston North. He had been up until 4am that morning playing PlayStation and smoking cannabis, before waking up and smoking some more. When he found a toilet roll in the toilet he became angry. Kash admitted to putting it there and Sean took her to another room to punish her. Neighbours and the other children heard Kash screaming and crying. She was soon unconscious, but Sean did not seek medical help. Hours later, visitors to the house saw that Kash was unresponsive, had a big lump on her head, her feet were cold, and she had blood around the corners of her mouth and under her nose. They called emergency services and Kash was rushed to Palmerston North Hospital where she died the next day. Sean had caused over 80 external injuries on Kash's body, as well as the severe internal head injuries she died from. Source: https://debbiemccauleyauthor.wordpress.com/biographies/new-zealand-....
