Fort Worth mother who slit daughter’s throat sentenced to 50 years
The 34-year-old was sentenced in 396th District Court before Judge George Gallagher on March 2.
Lewandowski told police that her child went missing on August 23, 2020. At first, Lewandowski told officers that she had last seen her daughter in the backyard and began providing details about her to a 911 dispatcher.
But Lewandowski changed his story and confessed to killing the girl. After slitting his daughter’s throat, Lewandowski wrapped her body and put the child in a trash can in their backyard.
According to the affidavit, Lewandowski told investigators she hurt her daughter because she was told to. Lewandowski was later taken to the Alliance for Children to speak with a detective.
During the interview, the affidavit states, she told the detective that she had “saved” her daughter and prevented something worse from happening.
Lewandowski was accused of murdering a child under the age of 10.
