    Kristi Anne Abrahams told undercover police she gave her murdered daughter Kiesha a "little nudge with her foot" causing the six-year-old to hit her head on the end of the bed.

    But forensic evidence shows the six-year-old suffered significant trauma to her head, consistent with suffering at least three to five blows, the Supreme Court in Sydney has been told.

    Exactly what happened to Kiesha in the last moments of her short life may never be known, with the Crown alleging Abrahams' version of events is inconsistent with the forensic evidence.

    Abrahams, 30, who pleaded guilty to the July 2010 murder on the first day of her trial last week, confessed to an undercover police officer that she had given her daughter a nudge with her foot when Kiesha was crying and wouldn't put on her pyjamas.

    Kiesha then "jumped" and hit her head on the end of the bed, Abrahams told the officer in April 2011, eight months after she reported her daughter missing.

    Kiesha made "weird noises" as Abrahams showered her and her body felt like "jelly", the court heard.

    Despite this, Abrahams and her partner, Robert Smith, put her to bed where she was found dead the following morning.

    The court has previously heard the couple stuffed her body in a suitcase and kept it in her bedroom for some days.

    They then donned disguises, took a taxi to nearby bushland at Shalvey, burned Kiesha's body and buried it in a shallow grave.

    They reported her missing on August 1.

    On the first day of Abrahams' sentence hearing, crown prosecutor Christopher Maxwell, QC, said the court would hear Abrahams told her father she was "sick" of Kiesha.

    "She s***s and pisses in bed," Abrahams allegedly said.

    "I'll hurt her, I'll kill her."

    Mr Maxwell said the evidence contradicted Abrahams' claim there was a happy family environment in which Kiesha was well cared for and loved.

    Forensic dentist, Dr Alain Middleton, told the court Kiesha had suffered fracturing to four of her teeth, consistent with being punched several times in different directions.

    The number of "forces" used would have been at least three, and probably more like four to five, he said.

    Gasps were heard in court as he said this, while Abrahams remained expressionless in the dock.

    The sentencing hearing continues before Justice Ian Harrison.

    I understand all about civilized society and all, but seriously, some people need to be put down. Abrahams and Smith are two such people.
    Don't like what I have to say? I respect that. Go fuck yourself.

    A court has been played video of Sydney woman Kristi Abrahams asking an undercover police officer to help her avoid being caught for killing her six-year-old daughter.

    Abrahams, 30, is facing the third day of a sentencing hearing for murdering her daughter Kiesha Weippeart after years of physically abusing her.

    Abrahams sat hunched over with her head down as the video of her conversation with an undercover police officer was played to the New South Wales Supreme Court.

    In the video, she told the undercover officer Kiesha was "like jelly" after she fell and hit her head.

    Abrahams said she did not want to go to jail, and cried as she told the officer she tried to revive Keisha by putting her under a shower.

    "When we woke up in the morning ... she wasn't breathing," she told the undercover officer.

    Abrahams then told the officer she went with her partner Robert Smith to bury her daughter's body in bushland.

    "He put petrol on her ... and branches on her," Abrahams said.

    Kiesha's remains were found in a shallow grave in 2011, eight months after she was reported missing.

    Abrahams pleaded guilty to murder earlier this month, avoiding the need for a trial.

    The court has previously heard Kiesha had suffered long-term physical abuse and at the age of three told a Department of Community Services worker her mother burnt her with a cigarette.

    Smith has already been jailed for at least 12 years for his role in Kiesha's death.

    The sentencing hearing continues.

    This is a really long article from one of Sydney's 2 big Sunday papers. It's an interview with the best friend of Keisha's mum who acted as spokesperson for them - until the arrests. Afterwards she earned herself a lifetime ban from visiting Long Bay Gaol when she attacked Kristi Abrahams seconds into her first visit -

    Long Bay Gaol

    This is the opening paragraph, there's also a video of he visiting Keisha's bush grave -

    FORTY-SEVEN seconds. That's all it took for Alison Anderson to get herself thrown out of Long Bay prison and banned for life, after paying a visit to her former friend, child-killer Kristi Abrahams. Not that she cares. Ms Anderson, 44, had gone to visit Abrahams, who is now serving a minimum 16 years' for the 2010 murder of six-year-old daughter Kiesha Weippeart. In a scene that would not be out of place in a television biopic, Ms Anderson asked the 30-year-old prisoner why she lied to her throughout the nine-month investigation into Kiesha's disappearance. Then she screamed: "You rot in jail, you filthy pig kid-killer," ripping off her white shirt to reveal a purple A Voice For Kiesha T-shirt, which Ms Abrahams had worn throughout the court proceedings. "How could you do this to her?" Ms Anderson demanded.



    For the rest of the article, pix & vid -
