A Wisconsin mother starved her adult daughter with “severe autism” to death, in part, because she did not want to upset the since-deceased woman with issues regarding her weight, authorities allege.

Amy S. Laszkiewicz, 52, stands accused of one count of recklessly subjecting an individual at risk to abuse – and causing death over the Jan. 4 malnourishment death of Cora Laszkiewicz, 23, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Waukesha County District Attorney’s Office and obtained by Law&Crime.

The defendant was originally arrested and charged on June 21. She quickly posted $10,000 bail and was released until Monday when Court Commissioner Kevin Costello found probable cause to sustain the charge and ordered her to remain detained in jail pending trial, according to court records reviewed by Law&Crime.
