Kristel Candelario will spend the rest of her life in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated murder and child endangerment. Candelario’s 16-month-old daughter Jailyn died of severe dehydration and hunger after Candelario left her home alone for ten days. “You committed the ultimate act of treason,” Judge Brendan Sheehan admonished the defendant.
Kristel Candelario is Ecuadorian; She was born and raised in Ecuador
Kristel Candelario was born in Ecuador to Ketty Torres and Klever Candelario. She became a teacher, emulating her grandfather and her father. “Kristel grew up and was educated in a healthy environment with her parents, protected and loved. She studied and was educated in our native country, Ecuador,” Ketty Torres said as she asked the court to show leniency during sentencing.
Klever also asked the court for leniency, claiming that Candelario was under great mental and emotional stress. “Her depression and anxiety consumed her to the point of depriving her of good judgment and reason. Here is my daughter Kristel, who also has a reason to move forward with her help,” Klever addressed the court. “My beloved daughter, always remember that we will never forget Jailyn, my beloved granddaughter whom I held in my arms.”
