A mother convicted in the killing of her one-year-old son will learn her fate this week in the Superior Court of Guam. 

Defendant Giltanan Ramangmou will be sentenced before Judge Vernon Perez on Tuesday. 

A jury found her guilty of negligent homicide as a third-degree felony and child abuse as a third-degree felony and misdemeanor.

As KUAM reported, the murder case unfolded the day after Halloween last year at Ramangmou’s home in Dededo.

Authorities arrived to find the young boy lifeless.

Ramangmou told 911 operators that her son had bumped his head and fallen out of the crib.

Prosecutors pointed out during trial that Ramangmou later admitted she had been changing bed sheets and forgot the baby was on the bed, resulting in the child hitting the wall and falling to the ground.

Autopsy results show the child’s cause of death was from blunt force injuries to the head, consistent with battered baby syndrome, with the manner being homicide.

Ramangmou faces ten years in prison.
