By Rosemarie Lentini A woman and her boyfriend have been charged with beating to death a 15-month-old girl they were babysitting. North Carolina's Malaya Faith Heun died on January 22, two days after a brutal assault which left her unconscious with ruptured intestines, broken collarbone, fractured ribs and brain bleeding. Malaya's aunt Alisha Nicole Carlisle, 20, and Carlisle's boyfriend, 30-year-old John Travis Turner, who were caring for the toddler, were charged with first-degree murder on Monday. 'Just seeing their faces makes me angry, to know that they would do something like that to my daughter,' Jamie Heun, Malaya's grief-stricken father, told Independent Tribune.
