TOTAL MONSTER

Absent dad returned home to beat his toddler daughter to death before claiming she’d choked on eggs

AN ABSENT dad returned home to beat his daughter to death - but now claims that the toddler choked on eggs leading to her death.

Warped dad Jocarl Bureau, 26, wants to withdraw his guilty plea and spring himself from jail after two years behind bars as he bizarrely claims - without any apparent evidence - his daughter died from food blockage.

Jayleah Bureau was only three when her absent dead returned and caused internal bleeding

This is despite courts ruling that he was guilty of manslaughter after he battered Jayleah Bureau, 3, and ruptured a vein in her stomach during a violent incident in March 2016 in Concord, New Hampshire.

He is now serving between 18 and 40 years in jail but says he has photos which clear his name - a claim which has been blasted by the man who prosecuted him.

New Hampshire Senior Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said the killer's evidence is completely fabricated and he has "no idea" how Bureau obtained the evidence he claims to have.

The jailbird says it was his daughter choking on eggs which ended her life - despite a pathologist finding no food blockage in her airway.

The three-year-old was found to have died from massive internal bleeding because of a ruptured vein in her stomach.

Her father, who had been absent for much of her life before, was convicted of causing the bleeding by beating her, according to the Concord Monitor.

Prosecutors at the time said after returning to his daughter's life, Bureau had grown frustrated by his new role as stay-at-home dad while mother of Jayleah went to work.

This was believed to have played a part in causing him to snap and strike his daughter.

He admitted a manslaughter charge as part of a plea deal which saw a murder charge against him dropped.

Judge Andrew Schulman dismissed Bureau’s latest motion to have his plea withdrawn, but appointed him a lawyer to investigate his claims and ensure due process.
