Today makes 7 days since little 2 year-old Kaylee Burgess was found dead inside a bucket of water behind her grandmother's house. After a post mortem was conducted on the child's body, police forensic pathologist Mario Estradabran revealed that the child did not drown, instead someone had suffocated her. Since then, police have been treating the child's death as a homicide but no one has been charged for Kaylee's murder as yet.
On Friday night police detained the child's two uncles and another man for questioning - but the three were released from police custody on Sunday evening.
Yesterday the child's aunt a 19 year old was also detained and is tonight in police custody at the Queen Street Police Station.
Reliable information to 7news tonight is that finger marks and bruises were found around 2 year old Kaylee's neck, along with a busted bottom lip and the left portion of her jaw was swollen. Also we were told that the child had been sexually violated prior to her death.
Charges are expected imminently...
