Testimony continues today for a woman accused of murdering her boyfriend's six-year-old daughter in Harahan.

Prosecutors say Hannah Landon killed Bella Fontenelle in 2023 and placed her body in a bucket outside the child's mother's home.

Landon is charged with first-degree murder and obstruction of justice. She has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

On Tuesday, jurors heard from Bella's parents and grandmother, as well as a detective who investigated the case.

If convicted, Landon faces life in prison with no parole.
