Matthew Lee Williamson is being tried in court for the death of his
3-year-old daughter, Kyhesha-Lee, who died at his home in Brisbane after
being physically and sexually abused for a prolonged period. Williamson
has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the Supreme Court in Brisbane,
Australia, on the basis that he failed to provide medical treatment for
his daughter when he found her body in March 2013.
He has, however, denied abusing her physically or sexually and blames his housemate, Christopher Kent, for that.

The court gathered from the autopsy carried out on Kyhesha-Lee, that the
child died an agonizing death. In her final hours, she was left unable
to move, talk, eat or drink, according to paediatrician Professor Roy
Kimble.called emergency service.
The court has heard Kyhesha-Lee died of a perforated bowel after
physical and sexual abuse. It was also revealed that a large sex toy was
used on the girl, she was punched on the stomach and there was a photo
of a naked man with his penis draped over the little girl's shoulder.
Williamson has denied all the allegations.
Despite her vomiting, showing bruising on her face, and leaving blood in
her nappies, Williamson told the court he didn't take Kyhesha-Lee to a
doctor because he was afraid to lose her to welfare.
"I didn't think anything of it at the time," he told the court.
His housemate, Christopher Kent, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter last year, has claimed Williamson did beat the girl.
The case was adjourned till March 16
after his lawyer requested a report into whether a "psychological
abnormality" contributed to his behaviour. His sentencing will resume
afterwards.
