BEATTYVILLE, Ky. (AP) - An eastern Kentucky man has been charged with murder after police say his 5-month-old daughter suffered fatal head and neck injuries.

Kentucky State Police charged 23-year-old Billy Hollan Jr., of Beattyville, with murder in the death of the infant.

whether she did anything or not to the baby, she still was abused by him and she should have gotten out of the relationship. her family and friends that knew about it could have done something to help her and since they didnt her baby happened to be in harms way. now he will pay the penalty for it and pray she wont do any time either for her choice to stay with him.

I do not have any clue how anyone can defend her right now, even those of you who are close to her. Even if she was my sister in this situation I would feel the same way. He may have done the deed, but if that baby was already hurt, and if she KNEW THAT HE WAS ABUSIVE, then she's just as guilty as he is. Why don't some of you who know her so well have any excuses as to why she's still visiting that monster? I'm a young mother of a 4 month old myself, and I know that if I saw the slightest clue that my baby could be in danger, I would go to any lengths to protect my baby, no matter what the cost. I would say that I hope she has to live with the guilt of it for the rest of her life, but if she never even shed a tear til the funeral, I guess she doesn't have much remorse, does she? And what kind of mother is on the internet right after her baby's death? Not much of one. I hope both of them rot in hell for what they've done, because to me, even THAT isn't enough punishment.

Then why is Ashley visiting the babys daddy in prison, the day her baby was burried? Answer that. Look at the visitian records for three forks for Sunday and you will see her name and the person she was visiting Billy, so no she dont need to be left alone, she needs a cell right next to him!
