A Chicago grandmother accused of killing her 8-year-old granddaughter inflicted abuse for so long that the dead little girl had maggots living in a head wound that had gone untreated, cops said in a shocking case.
Helen M. Ford, 51, eventually strangled and beat Gizzell Kiara Ford to death, cops say, ending weeks, maybe months, of systematic abuse.The grandmother is held on no bail and faces a murder charge.
The details of the grisly and horrifying crime were unveiled Sunday by prosecutors who presented a disturbing case against the girl’s caretaker and, police say, executioner.
