A mother has been charged with killing her three-month-old baby.
As K105 reported in June 2024, 23-year-old Brianna M. Burkhart, of London, was initially charged with three counts of first-degree assault and first-degree criminal abuse after her three-month-baby was transported to St. Joseph-London Hospital before being taken to University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital with multiple facial fractures, hemorrhages and retinal bleeding, according to Kentucky State Police.
The abuse took place in April 2024.
On September 10, 2024, the investigator, Kentucky State Police Det. James Royal, was notified the baby had succumbed to her injuries at University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital.
On November 7, 2024, a Clay County Grand Jury indicted Burkhart for murder. She is lodged in the Clay County Detention Center.
