The Supreme Court yesterday upheld a guilty verdict against a nanny for physically abusing and causing a baby girl’s death. It also upheld a sentence of 13 years in prison and compensation of NT$4.32 million (US$138,728) to the girl’s family.

The 37-year-old woman, surnamed Lin (林), was an accredited nanny and ran a daycare center from her residence.

In January 2017, the one-year-old daughter of the Weng (翁) family slipped into a coma while under Lin’s care and died in March.
