Xuan (Linda) Peng has been found guilty of second-degree
murder in the drowning death of her 4-year-old autistic daughter
Scarlett in a bathtub in the family home.
A Superior Court jury returned its verdict Saturday morning
after two days of deliberations.
Scarlett Chen was discovered unconscious by her distraught
father David Chen in the tub on the second floor of the family's
townhouse on Rosebank Dr., near Markham Rd. and Sheppard Ave. E.

some kitchen utensils.

36-year-old Chinese immigrant with first-degree murder. The
charges were later reduced to second-degree murder. Read More ..
