Why? You ask.....why its because she kicked off her blanket!
A burly father described as a 'lovable giant' has been jailed for four years for killing his two-year-old daughter by holding her face down on a pillow while she 'screamed' and 'squirmed'.
Philip Kinraid, 29, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his daughter Esme, after she died in his family home in Hawera, New Zealand, in 2015, NZ Herald reported.
Justice Rebecca Ellis told the court that Kinraid had put his two children to bed just before 7pm, but Esme was unsettled and kicked off a blanket he had wrapped her in.
Forcefully holding her down with his hand, Justice Ellis said Esme was 'squirming' and 'inhaling and exhaling while she screamed' as she suffocated to death.
Kinraid was called in to work and returned at 11pm to find Esme lying limp on her bed - her face drained of colour and eyes glazed over.
'I think I may have killed my daughter,' Kinraid reportedly told the emergency services operator.
When police arrived at his home, he appeared suicidal and asked them to shoot him while admitting: 'I might have committed manslaughter.'
Kinraid's other child, a five-year-old boy, now lives with his ex-partner.
Crown prosecutor Justin Marinovich said Esme would have felt 'great horror' as she died at the hands of her powerful father.
'She was struggling against you. She had no means of escape ... It was a deliberate act, it was an act of force,' Justice Ellis said, stuff.co.nz reported.
'Esme is dead. Her life and her future was taken away in an instant. She was only two-years-old.'
Esme's mother and other family members were too emotional to read a victim impact statement in court.
One family member described Kinraid to the New Zealand Herald as a 'lovable giant'.
