In a shocking incident, a pregnant mother was discovered dancing naked beside the lifeless body of her daughter, whom she had allegedly sacrificed to God.
Nephiterea Sancho, aged 36 and two months pregnant, is now on trial in Texas for the murder of her 6-year-old daughter, Hosanna Sancho.The grim discovery was made on January 3 at their residence in San Antonio.
Claiming to have acted “under God’s orders,” Nephiterea’s confession has left the community in disbelief. The heart-wrenching scene was first stumbled upon by other family members.
Kenny Vallespin, Hosanna’s uncle, expressed the trauma experienced by the family, stating,
“My niece and nephew went down and witnessed something they’ll probably never be able to get out of their heads for the rest of their lives.”
Revealing further details, Police Sergeant Washington Moscoso informed the media that Nephiterea was found “running around unclothed at the scene.”
He added that, “there was no gun or gunshot wound to the victim. The child did die from trauma to the body, just not a gunshot wound.”
This isn’t the first instance of Nephiterea facing legal consequences related to child harm. Reports indicate that she was previously arrested 13 years ago for injuring children, including her then three-year-old niece.
Following that incident, she underwent treatment at a mental health facility. Currently, she faces a capital murder charge and remains in custody on a $1 million bond.
Hosanna’s family mourned the loss of the young girl, remembering her passion for the violin and her dreams of becoming a cheerleader.
They shared, “She loved to swim and loved the water. She wanted to be a cheerleader and ride the school bus for the first time, and she never got to do that.”
The investigation into this heart-wrenching tragedy continues as authorities seek clarity on the events leading to Hosanna’s untimely death.
