An Indian father, 27, will be deported and his ex-wife, 22, jailed for abusing their toddler and blaming the bruises on demons.
The former couple, who legally cannot be named, appeared in Townsville District Court this week to be sentenced over the abuse of their three-year-old, which lasted eight months.
The court heard when authorities assessed the child she had to be wiped down because she was so dirty.
She was also underweight, had bruises all over her body, and fractures in her right leg, shoulder, arm, and collarbone, according to the Townsville Bulletin.
