Michigan State Police are investigating the murder of a child in Van Buren County. They tell us troopers out of the Paw Paw post were sent to a home in Almena Township on Tuesday on a report of a child not breathing. There, they learned the three-year-old girl had been with her step mother when she was found unresponsive. 31-year-old Kate George of Paw Paw is now charged with felony murder based on torture and first degree child abuse in the death of the three-year-old. The Michigan State Police Crime Lab was on scene at the home until the early morning hours of Wednesday as part of the investigation, and George was arraigned on Wednesday. There were two other children in the home who were removed by Child Protective Services, and they’re described as being in good health. State police say the investigation continues.
