Makallie Elizabeth Durham, a babysitter from hell, was sentenced to life in prison without eligibility for parole or any other form of release from incarceration for the killing of two-year-old Kristian Harris.
Durham, 25, of Iuka, pleaded guilty to capital murder and several counts of child abuse.
At the time Durham’s boyfriend call an ambulance, Durham had been babysitting Kristian and his 11-month-old sister, who was also all bruised, for several days.
As per the Alcorn County deputy sheriff’s office, little Kristian was unresponsive. He was rushed to the hospital where he died two days later.
The tragic incident took place in September of 2022, and Durham’s sentence came two years later.
The court hearing determined that the babysitter from hell hit the toddler in the head on three separate occasions, September 9, 12, and 13.
She was also hitting the baby in the same manner.
On the day emergency services were called to a property in the city of Corinth, where the kids were staying, it was determined that Kristian was severely bitten by the babysitter.
Following her son’s passing, Kristian’s mother spoke of Durham’s audacity to send her a message begging her to help her to avoid serving jail time at the time of the arrest.
