A woman in Kentucky allegedly bashed her 6-year-old daughter’s head with a hammer, and during the assault, she allegedly told her son who attempted to stop her, ‘let me finish her.’

Louisville Metro Police Department responded to the home last Thursday, June 19, after they received a report of a girl being attacked with a hammer.

The child was found ‘suffering from multiple skull fractures and brain bleeds.’

The young girl was taken to a hospital, where she remained in critical condition for four days after the attack. 

Zeinab Abdi, 40, was charged with attempted murder for the incident.

She reportedly ‘became overly angry and struck the victim in the head with a hammer an unknown amount of times.’

According to investigation, a homicide unit spoke with the victim’s brother, who said that while restraining [his mother] after the assault, she stated to him ‘let me finish her’ while attempting to return to the victim.

Abdi was being held at Louisville Metro Corrections, and her bail was set at $500,000. 

She will appear in court on June 30.
