Abdi was read her Miranda rights and agreed to speak with investigators. During the interview, she reportedly admitted to striking her daughter in the head multiple times with a hammer.
The arrest slip notes that Abdi acknowledged a long-standing struggle with anger management, telling officers that she “frequently becomes extremely angry and has difficulty controlling herself.”
She also allegedly stated that she became “overly angry” during the incident and could not recall how many times she struck the child.
Following her arraignment on Friday, Abdi was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections, where she is being held on a $500,000 bond. Court records indicate that she does not currently have legal representation. Her next court appearance is scheduled for June 30, when a preliminary hearing will be held.
The case has shocked the local community and drawn widespread attention due to the brutality of the alleged crime and the young age of the victim. Authorities have not released further details about the family or any prior history of abuse, but the investigation remains ongoing as the child continues to fight for her life.
