Amy Annamunthodo killer appeals conviction
Thursday 21 January 2021
CONVICTED child-killer Marlon King has asked the Court of Appeal to find fault with his trial judge’s handling of his case in 2012.
He was sentenced to hang for the brutal murder of his four-year-old stepdaughter Amy Emily Annamunthodo.
Annamunthodo was tortured and beaten to death, burned with cigarettes, hung from her hair and beaten until her heart ruptured. King was charged with killing the child – who weighed 33 pounds and was unable to speak properly and under-developed – on May 15, 2006 at his home at Ste Madeleine Road, Marabella.
King was in a common-law relationship with Annamunthodo’s mother, Anita.
