WARNING: This story details allegations of child abuse.
The trial of Ontario women Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney for the first-degree murder of 12-year-old L.L. includes evidence presented by Sgt. Julie Powers, who outlined the couple’s neglect and abuse of L.L. and his brother J.L. Testimonies revealed a disturbing decline in L.L.’s well-being, including severe malnourishment and confinement, as evidenced by photos and videos collected by police.
