MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Local 10 News obtained a police report Friday in connection with the jailhouse beating of Jorge Barahona, who is accused of killing his adopted 10-year-old daughter. Before they jumped him, they covered up nearby security cameras so the beating wouldn’t be captured, the report stated. According to the report, Barahona had multiple bruises on his face after the beating, as well as a bloody nose and a small cut on the left side of his nose. According to detectives, Barahona murdered his adopted daughter, Nubia Barahona, in February 2011. MUGSHOTS: Inmates accused of attacking Jorge Barahona

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Local 10 News Senior Political Reporter Michael Putney is critical of State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle’s handling of the case in the 2011 torture death of 10-year-old Nubia Barahona in Miami-Dade. The cases against Nubia’s adoptive parents, Carmen Barahona, 69, and Jorge Barahona, 52, continued while her twin brother, Victor, who survived the abuse waited for justice. After Carmen Barahona pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges on Friday, Fernandez Rundle released a statement saying her sentencing will be deferred until she testifies against Jorge Barahona, who faces the death penalty if convicted.
