Sentenced: Toddler Killed By Poisoned Cereal Spiked By Babysitter's Former Lover

A mother has spoken out after the man she rejected was convicted of killing her toddler daughter by poisoning her cereal.

In March of 2021, Toronto mom, Maurine Merimbe, left her daughter in a friend's care. The friend, Zahra Issa, fed the child breakfast - unaware that Francis Ngugi, the babysitter's former lover, had planted deadly poison in the family's cereal. The child suffered multiple seizures and two heart attacks, dying violently in a hospital as her mother watched.

Ngugi, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in September, and sat with his head down in the prisoner's box as the judge explained the course of events that led up to the child's death.

"Ngugi, in the time leading up to the death, became obsessed with Zahra Issa, a woman with whom he had a dating relationship. She rejected him, he stalked her, surreptitiously recorded her, and continued to try to convince her to have a relationship.. She considered him a friend," said Justice Maureen Forestell.

"She was an innocent child who was robbed of her life. Not only that, she died in a terrible and no-doubt terrifying manner," Forestell said.

According to the mom and the babysitter, Ngugi acted like nothing was wrong, even coming along to the hospital and witnessing the tragedy without saying anything. He then continued to pursue Issa, attempting to rekindle their relationship - before police arrested him in connection with the child's death.

The judge took into account Nguhi's failure to take responsibility and said it was not an offense that occurred spontaneously but was "part of a course to punish Issa." "He knew the sodium nitrite was likely to cause death. He knew the children were present. He was reckless in leaving the poison in the cereal," the judge concluded.

Ngugi will be added to the national DNA databank, and was given a lifetime weapons ban and was ordered to have no contact with the Mirembe, Issa, and their families. He was sentenced to life in prison.

Poor beautiful girl, victim of some small dick little bitch who can't get a woman. Stalking and being rejected are his special interests. Why do they always have to take it out on the kids!!!!
