Orlando Florida woman, Rosa Rivera stabs 11 year old daughter, Aleyda Rivera to death cause she suspected she’d had sex and ‘smelled’ different.
A Florida mother has told investigators she stabbed her 11-year-old daughter to death to stop her form having sex.
Rose Alcides Rivera, 28, was arrested at around 11am on Sunday outside Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies in Orlando, where she arrived with the body of her child, Aleyda Rivera, in the passenger seat of her car.
The mother’s arrest follows Rivera driving up to the medical facility and demanding medical assistance for her daughter.
Aleyda, who would have turned 12 on Thursday, was pronounced dead at the scene from 15 stab wounds, reported Fox35.
Officials described the mother as ‘argumentative,’ upon arriving at the hospital- even threatening to stab medics.
Lt Diego Toruno, a spokesperson for the Orlando Police Department, said Rivera became combative with hospital staff and pulled a knife on them, causing the hospital to briefly go on lockdown.
Rivera was detained by security and police officers, and was later booked on a first-degree murder count.
