A MUM and her finance have been accused of torturing a toddler to death after a child’s remains were found in an Australian dam four years after she vanished.
Cops have today confirmed bones found last month at Chinchilla Weir, about 180 miles west of Brisbane, in March, belonged to missing three-year-old Kaydence Mills.
Shortly before the corpse was found Kaydence’s mum Sinitta Dawita, 28, and her fiance Tane Desatge, 40, were charged in with one count each of murder, interfering with a corpse and torture.
Desatge is not the toddler’s father but was in a relationship with Dawita at the time the little girl was allegedly murdered.
The charges stemmed from a police investigation that began in November 2019 three years after she vanished.
Before Keydence’s bones were found, police also searched a home in Chinchilla, where they dug up the backyard.
Cadaver dogs were used in the search, but nothing was found.
Police said they would not be commenting because charges have been made and a court case is expected.

Kaydence’s family members described the toddler, who was the middle sibling of five children and would now be five, as a “beautiful little girl” who walked with a limp.
The family previously told the Daily Mercury: “There’s a little girl and she’s missing and we don’t know what’s happened to her.
“It needs to be brought out of the dark because it’s been hidden in the dark for too long.”
Dawita and Desatge remain in custody and are expected to front the Dalby Magistrates Court later this month for a mention.
