A grandmother, 72, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder for beating her own 8-year-old granddaughter to death.

According to reports, at approximately 4 p.m. on Tuesday 7th, officials from the Nash County Sheriff’s Office were notified of a juvenile who had been brought into the emergency room with severe injuries but was pronounced dead upon arrival at Nash UNC Healthcare in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, 50 miles east of Raleigh.

Deputies and detectives from the Nash County Sheriff’s Office swung into action to further investigate the cause of death and it was ascertained that the 8-year-old girl lived in the 5000 block of Dutchman Road in Nashville, North Carolina.

The Sheriff’s Office announced the death of the young girl in a statement:

“Base on the investigation, it was determined that the 8-year-old juvenile was beaten so severe by the Grandmother that she died from the injuries.

“The child had severe injuries throughout her entire body and head.”

Stonix News learnt that the 8-year-old girl, prior to the tragic incident, lived at the home with her grandmother, who was the child’s legal guardian along with several other siblings who lived there as well.

The 72-year-old grandmother, Patricia Ann Ricks, was charged with First Degree Murder and Felony Child Abuse with Serious Injury and has been placed into the Nash County Detention Center with no bond.

The motive behind the beating-to-death of the child is still unknown to authorities, as the suspect made no statement regarding her heinous act.

Ricks is scheduled to make her first court appearance on Thursday 9th, in Nash County District Court
