On August 16th a 9 year old girl was strangled to death in Unitedville. The murder of this child is a bizarre and deeply disturbing case because the prime suspect appears to be the child's own mother, Emily Ico. Yesterday at the press briefing, police told us that Ico's psychiatric evaluation is still pending.
Joseph Myvette, Assistant COMPOL
"Her mother still remains at the hospital under treatment at this time. So she has still not yet been detained. When we last checked this morning she is still admitted at the western regional hospital."
"The investigation is still proceeding statements were recorded from others, but as I say up to this point no statement could have been recorded from her and the police is in the process of seeking a mental evaluation of her. But otherwise the investigation is being prepared for forward transmission to the office of the director for police issues."
