The accused, according to the charge sheet, armed with a cutlass allegedly cut her one year old daughter into pieces sometime last year at Kilabaliya village in Marte Local Government Area of Borno state.
She was charged with culpable homicide punishable by death under section 221(b) of the penal code.
