Owner Of Indian Orphanage Has A Different Story To Say In Sherin Mathews Case:- The owner of a now-closed orphanage in India, where the young girl, Sherin Mathews was living has a different story to say in her case. The child had no difficulty eating, despite her adoptive father’s statement to police, when reported her missing. The girl was adopted by the Texas couple, Wesley and Sini Mathews.

In suburban Dallas in a culvert under a road, about half-a-mile from her parent’s home, the body of the 3-year old girl was found on Sunday. Investigators have said her father, Wesley Mathews, initially told them he had sent the girl outside at 3 a.m. on October 7, to stand near a tree across the alley from the family’s fence as punishment, because she refused to drink her milk. After about 15 minutes, he went to check on her.

Moreover, Mathews told the police that when she was adopted, the girl had been malnourished and needed to eat whenever she was awake, to help her gain weight. But, the orphanage owner, Babita Kumari told television station WFAA that the girl had no problems and that the couple appeared loving, when they were going through the adoption process.

“The child had no problem at all when she was here, neither in drinking milk or eating,” Kumari said.

Initially, after reporting the girl missing on Oct 7, Wesley Mathews was charged with endangering or abandoning a child. On Monday, he changed his story to police, saying the girl choked on milk and died in the family’s garage, before he took her body away. Mathews was arrested and charged with felony injury to a child, which carries a sentence of up to life in prison.

On Wednesday, Mathews was transferred to the Dallas County jail. The jail is routine for inmates charged with higher level felonies. He has been placed on suicide watch, said the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department. His bond was reviewed by a judge, and left it as $1 million.

Mitch Nolte, an attorney for Sini Mathews said in a wriiten statement on Wednesday that since October 7, she has submitted to several long interviews with police and her lawyers see no need for her to “endure further police interrogation”, because she had nothing to do with the “death or removal” of the child’s body.
