Nelly Vasquez-Salazar #fundie myfoxchicago.com

Lake County, IL. -- A Waukegan mother, charged today with fatally stabbing her 6-year-old daughter, first claimed the girl attacked her, then told police she thought the girl was possessed by a demon, Lake County prosecutors said as a judge set bail for 25-year-old Nelly Vasquez-Salazar at $5 million.
Vasquez-Salazar was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the death of her only child, Evelyn, 6.

The girl was found dead early Monday in the Waukegan apartment she shared with her mother.

Vasquez-Salazar reportedly told police she believed her daughter - who had recently began sleepwalking - was possessed.

"She claimed the little girl was possessed by a demon," prosecutor Steve Scheller said in court. "She was an intelligent, vibrant, beautiful little girl. She was, in fact, an angel."
