Roxanne Record, 53, and Kadjah Record, 28, were both booked on first degree murder charges in the death of China Record, according to the Baton Rouge Police Dept.
During the investigation, officials learned that the grandmother allegedly forced China to consume a bottle of whisky while the mother watched.
Investigators say the women
became angry when the child took a sip from a bottle of Canadian Mist whisky, according to booking documents obtained by The Advocate. Roxanne Record reportedly forced the 4-year-old to drink the rest of the 80 proof liquor from the bottle, which was “over half full,” as the mother watched, according to the documents.
