Mom charged in beating of daughter

In an unusual case out of Cayo District, a mother has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, and harm after she allegedly laid a merciless beating on her twelve-year-old daughter. According to police, the girl, in the company of a social worker, reported that after returning home from school last Thursday her mom, thirty-eight year old Sherlene Myvette, tied a cord around her neck and dragged her around the yard. This was followed by an attack with a machete. The child was treated for her injuries at San Ignacio Hospital.
