Man Kills Little Girl Over Paternity Dispute

Nicholas McKee of Warfordsburg, PA was sentenced this week for fatally abusing his girlfriend's daughter. McKee, 23, received 35 years in prison for killing Bella Appel-McKee who was only five weeks old.

Prosecutors brought a case against McKee stating that he shook Bella to death because he was worried about her paternity. Jordan Appel, the girl's mother, has now said that it is possible Bella was fathered by someone else. Despite the questionable paternity, the judge convicted him of first-degree child abuse resulting in death.

McKee was also sentenced on charges of second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and involuntary manslaughter. Combined with those charges he could serve a maximum of 55 years in prison.
