Corinth, Mississippi – A 25-year-old woman has been sentenced to life in prison for the abuse and murder of two children in her care. Makallie Durham pleaded guilty to capital murder and four counts of felonious child abuse on December 13th.
The incident occurred in September 2022 when authorities responded to a home regarding an unresponsive child. Upon arrival, they found a 2-year-old boy with severe injuries and an 11-month-old girl. Both children were transported to the hospital, where the boy tragically succumbed to his injuries.
Investigations revealed that Durham had inflicted multiple injuries on the boy, including blows to the face and head, over the course of several days. She also physically abused the girl during the same period.
Durham will spend the rest of her life in prison without the possibility of parole.
