Two babysitters are facing murder charges after a 1-year-old girl in their care died from multiple skull fractures, brain bleed and abdominal trauma, authorities in Tennessee say.

Memphis police officers responded to LeBonheur Children’s Hospital around 3 a.m. Saturday after baby Kali Moore was suffering from cardiac arrest. The girl died an hour later. Doctors determined she had skull and neck fractures and “massive bruising” on her back, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit.

Cops detained Dijon Smith, 34, and Kiya Moore, 21, who began babysitting baby Kali around 5 p.m. Thursday, the affidavit said.

After receiving their Miranda rights, Moore and Smith gave “conflicting statements” and blamed each other for the baby’s death, cops said. Moore allegedly told detectives she left Kali alone with Smith and when she returned the girl was “unresponsive.” She reportedly said he refused to tell her what happened and told her to say she fell asleep with the girl when she fell off the bed and hit her head on the nightstand.

Smith allegedly said he heard Kali crying in the backroom and Moore yelling at her.
