TOMBLL, Texas (KTRK) -- A mother accused of killing her 5-year-old daughter in Tomball is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
Melissa White Towne allegedly told police she murdered her daughter because she thought the child was evil.
The details of what happened to the child are gruesome & disturbing. The alleged crime shocked everyone who knew the child.
In pictures, 5-year-old Nichole Bradshaw was always smiling, but authorities said the end of her life was horrific.
During a hearing, prosecutors said the girl screamed out “I’ve been good,” as her mother was killing her. Towne told police it took her 30 to 45 minutes to kill her child.
Her mother allegedly told police she killed the girl because her daughter was "evil & didn't want anything to do with her anymore."
Child Protective Services confirmed that Towne had prior dealings with the agency & did not have custody of Nichole.
Investigators are now trying to figure out how Towne managed to get Nichole the day of the murder.
Meanwhile, the child's family is heartbroken.
"She didn't deserve, she had not even had a chance to live," Amber Bradshaw, Nichole's aunt, said. "She never hurt anybody. She would step around an ant. She loved animals."
Towne faces a charge of capital murder & is set to appear before a judge at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
