Woman arrested after her 9yr old daughter's body is found in a car trunk

A Canadian mother named Lisa Batstone has been charged with murder after the body of her 8yr old daughter was found in the trunk of a car. The lifeless body of Tegan Batstone was discovered by police responding to a call about a car in a ditch, just south of Vancouver, British Columbia on Wednesday Dec. 10th.

According to the Toronto Sun, the divorced mother, 41, was taken into custody at the scene before being charged with second-degree murder.

Authorities are yet to say why the mother killed the girl and also the girl's cause of death. An autopsy has been scheduled. The woman's lawyers told the court that she'd been depressed and had been on a variety of medications before the incident.
