The three-year-old girl died from the injuries a day after the incident.

A man has killed a female toddler by standing on her stomach, it has been reported.

According to 9news, the death of the child was originally thought to be accidental before the perpetrator of her death admitted to standing on her on purpose.

Seven months after the death of the girl, the man (who weighs 100kg) admitted to standing on the child out of frustration as he tripped over her earlier the day of her death.

On the day of his standing on the child, the 22-year-old in question told the child to lie to her mother saying she had a stomach ache after the incident.

However, the day after the crime, the child became extremely pale and tragically died of a ruptured liver and bleeding in her kidneys before dying in hospital.

The man’s lawyer Ms Judd told the court:

“In frustration, he turned her around and stepped on her stomach with one foot…

“He took his other foot off the ground, thereby putting his entire weight on her.”

The mother of the deceased child was reportedly excused to leave the court numerous times as the trauma became too much for her.

She told the court of the devastating effects her daughter’s death has had on her.

“I was lied to for seven months when he knew the truth…

“I no longer trust anyone after being betrayed … like this.”
