A STEPMOTHER has been accused of killing her three-year-old stepdaughter by luring her to death with her toys. Isabelly de Oliveira Assumpção from Brazil died by drowning in a top-loading washing machine the night before Mother's Day on May 7, 2022. Now, her stepmother Suzana Dazar dos Santos has been accused of her murder.

Prosecutors claim that Santos was caring for Isabelly while her father, whom she saw every Friday and Saturday, was at work. It is alleged that moments before she lured the tot to her death by placing her toys in and around the open washing machine, she filmed Isabelly in what is the last time anyone saw her alive.

Santos is accused of "placing a plastic stool in front of the washing machine which was full of water.". She also allegedly "placed some of the child's toys inside the aforementioned appliance" and "placed Isabelly on the bench so she could play with the objects that were in the water.".

Isabelly ended up drowning after she fell into the machine. Police said that Santos discovered the lifeless child and called for help. Despite all desperate attempts, Isabelly could not be revived. Prosecutors claim that the twisted stepmother then left the three-year-old "alone and unsupervised for long enough for the death event to occur.".

In the video of Isabelly taken by her stepmother moments before her death, the little girl could be seen wearing a pink top rolling up her sleeves in what looks like the utility room. It is alleged that the stepmother was motivated to kill the innocent child because of the jealousy she felt about her and the connection between the girl's father and mother.
