Queensland Woman Charged with Torturing Girl Seeks Medical Evidence

A 32-year-old woman is facing 29 charges for allegedly assaulting, torturing, and neglecting a four-year-old girl over a 10-month period in Slacks Creek, Queensland. The charges include grievous bodily harm and multiple counts of assault as domestic violence offences, with allegations indicating the girl suffered severe injuries, including bruising, burns, and fractures. During a recent court appearance, the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, requested access to outstanding medical evidence to support her case, and the magistrate adjourned the matter until May 7 while she remains in custody. The police claim the abuse was among the worst they have encountered, with one detective stating that the intervention of law enforcement likely saved the child's life. The woman did not apply for bail during the hearing. Authorities received a tip-off regarding the girl's condition, prompting the investigation.
