An 11-year-old girl has been charged with murder in the beating death of a two-month-old girl.
The girl, her mother and the infant, Zuri Whitehead, were on a couch at the house in Wickliffe, a suburb of Cleveland in Ohio, when the mother fell asleep at about 3am on Friday, police said.
Less than an hour later, the woman was awakened by her daughter, who was holding the badly injured child.
Zuri was bleeding and her head was badly swollen, Wickliffe police Chief Randy Ice said.
Police reported "massive brain injuries" as well as damage to her kidneys and liver, and extensive internal bleeding
The 11-year-old's mother immediately called 911, Chief Ice said. Zuri was flown to a children's trauma centre in Cleveland, but she died there.
Chief Ice said the girl did not appear to show remorse.
"I'm not sure she appreciated the gravity of what she did," he said.
"We're having a hard time getting (our) heads around this."
The police chief said the mother of the 11-year-old and Zuri's mother, Trina Whitehead, have known each other for five or six years but are not related.
Trina Whitehead has three other children and had the girl's mother keep Zuri overnight to give her a break.
Judge Karen Lawson entered a not guilty plea for the girl at a detention hearing on Monday and ordered that she undergo a competency hearing.
The girl, who entered the court in shackles, answered yes when she was asked if she understood her rights.
Media have not identified the girl because she is a minor.
