SEDGWICK COUNTY —A Kansas woman is going to prison for the death of her infant daughter.
On Friday, 29-year-old Neriah Dilley was sentenced to just over 14-years in prison, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In February, Dilley entered a guilty plea to one count of second-degree murder and one count of abuse of a child.
In October of 2021, police responded to a home in the 800 block of South Mission in Wichita after report of an infant not breathing, according to Officer Charley Davidson.
Upon arrival, officers located 1-year-old Myonna Townley in critical condition. EMS transported her an area hospital for medical treatment where she succumbed to her injuries. Townley was also found to have trauma on her body, according to Davidson.
Interviews and the examination of evidence led police to arrest Dilley, the girl's mother.
