A DeKalb County grandmother was jailed without bond Monday, September 10, 2012, for allegedly beating her 3-year-old granddaughter to death. Selena Denise Rivera, 42, told police she was in bed reading the Bible when she noticed Neveah Pinckney’s eyes rolling back and a white foam coming from her nose. Rivera was the only one who cared for the child, and she immediately called 911 the evening of Aug. 21. An hour later, Neveah was pronounced dead at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
However, the child’s 8-year-old sister, whose name was not released, told police Thursday she watched her grandmother “beating the victim with a silver pipe on the day she died and shoved the victim in a closet."
Rivera was denied bond at her first court appearance Monday.
