Man sentenced to 50 years to life in killing of infant daughter
A Newhall man was sentenced Tuesday to 50 years to life in state prison for killing his 19-day-old daughter, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
Matthew Brendan Warner, a 30-year-old white man, plead no contest Sept. 2 to one count of first-degree murder for killing his newborn daughter, Ellorah Rose Warner.
Matthew Warner killed his daughter in their home Jan. 23 while the child's mother was at work, prosecutors said.
Matthew Warner said the newborn had been kidnapped and a search began for Ellorah Warner. He later led authorities to the infant’s body, which he had hidden in the cab of his truck in a nearby parking lot.
