The Prince George’s County Police Department
arrested a daycare provider in connection with the death of a baby girl in her
care in December. The suspect is 43-year-old Beatrice Manning of the 5600
block of Helmont Place in Oxon Hill. The victim is nine-month-old Savannah
Wright of North Anvil Lane in Temple Hills.
On December 2, 2015, around 7:00 am, the
baby's mother dropped off Savannah at Manning's home. Around 11:00 am, the
investigation reveals Manning called 911 saying Savannah was lethargic and had
become unresponsive. At about 5:30 that evening, detectives were called to the
Children's National Medical Center and notified the victim was suffering from
a brain injury and was on life support. On December 4th,
Savannah passed away.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in
the District of Columbia ruled the cause of death was blunt force injury
to the head and the manner of death was a homicide. Autopsy results and the
investigation reveal Savannah's injuries occurred while in Manning’s care.
Manning was arrested on April 5, 2016. She is
