Parents tried to secretly dissolve toddler daughter’s body in acid when she drowned because nobody was looking after her
A TWISTED mum and dad tried to dissolve their toddler daughter's body in acid after she drowned in the bath.
The remains of Rebecka Zavala, two, were found decomposing in a five-gallon bucket stuffed in a wardrobe.
According to police, Dominiguez said that Rebecka drowned while she was bathing unsupervised.
Both parents were locked up after pleading guilty on Friday.
Zavala-Loredo was caged for 14 years, while Dominguez was slapped with 20.
District Attorney Isidro Alaniz said: "As you can imagine, it's very difficult for all of us in law enforcement and for the first responders to be in a situation to come across a scene like we did."
Dominguez was already on probation for fracturing six of her nine-month-old son's bones.
Neither parent was charged with murder as Rebecka's remains were too damaged to determine a cause of death.
According to police, Dominiguez said that Rebecka drowned while she was bathing unsupervised.
