A mum murdered her three-year-old daughter, hid her body in a duffel bag and then told police the girl had been kidnapped, it is claimed.
Aisha Thomas was arrested on suspicion of murder shortly after she reported her daughter, Dejah Amara Hunt, missing.
The 29-year-old called police and claimed Dejah had been abducted from a store, but officers found the youngster's body in her mum's bedroom closet.
Dejah, who had been put into bin bags and stuffed into a duffel bag, was found when police noticed a strong smell at her parents' Las Vegas home.
