MORELIA, MEXICO – The man captured on camera drowning his 3-year-old stepdaughter by repeatedly throwing her into a hotel swimming pool has been jailed for 100 years.For those of you who missed the original story last year, Jose David N. was staying with a woman and her daughter at a popular hotel last August when he took the girl to the pool after her mother fell asleep.
As you can see for yourself in the video below, Jose repeatedly throws the girl in the pool even though he knows she cannot swim. Sometimes he just drops her in the water, while other times he haphazardly slings her out into the middle of the pool.
Each time he does this, he nonchalantly walks around the edge of the pool or swims around her as she frantically tries to keep her head above water. With each toss, her attempts at swimming become weaker and weaker.
The video also shows Jose holding the girl under water for significant periods of time while other people in the pool nearby do nothing. The girl stopped breathing a short time later and was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
An autopsy would reveal the girl had died from secondary drowning, or “dry drowning.” This type of drowning can occur minutes or hours after someone has exited the water if they breathed water into their lungs.
After the video footage below was discovered, Jose was arrested and charged with aggravated murder. His defense argued that the girl died from other means after leaving the pool, but judges Juan Salvador Alonso Mejia, Ana Lilia Garcia Cardona and Noe Reyes Millan rejected the defense and found Jose guilty of aggravated murder.
Jose was then sentenced to 100 years in prison with no possibility of parole.
