Mother 'beat man to death with a baseball bat after her four-year-old daughter said he abused her'

A 30-year-old woman has been arrested after she confessed to police she beat a homeless man to death with a baseball bat. Forsythia Owen claimed she attacked Denzle Rainey in an alleyway where he had been sleeping rough because he allegedly molested her four-year-old daughter. As she was interviewed by police Owens, of Englewood, Colorado, allegedly swung her arms repeatedly as she demonstrated how she delivered the fatal blows. Mr Rainey was found in the alley with serious injuries. He had a cracked skull, broken ribs and vital organs had been damaged. A post-mortem examination showed his broken ribs had cut into his liver, Fox 13 reported. The 42-year-old had been living rough while he tried to patch up his relationship with his wife and children. Owens, who was arrested on Monday, is being held in Arapahoe County Detention Center and is facing first-degree murder charges, according to 9 News. She allegedly said to officers that the unnamed child told her Mr Rainey had sexually abused her. Police are investigating Owen's claims that he molested her daughter.
