BUTCHERED BABY BAKED IN OVEN!

Tot’s own granny charged with sickening murder

-

FED-UP with caring for her toddler granddaugh­ter, ghoulish granny Carolyn Jones viciously stabbed the adorable tyke and then stuffed her in the oven, say cops, who believe the child was still alive and roasted to death in slow agony.

If the 48-year-old Shaw, Miss., grandma is found guilty of the unspeakabl­y gruesome Oct. 15 death of adorable tot Royalty, she’ll be the most hated woman in America — a true monster, law enforcemen­t sources believe!

After arresting Jones and charging her with the horrific murder, shaken Sheriff Kevin Williams declared: “I’ve been in law enforcemen­t a long time, 26 years almost. This is one of the most horrible things I’ve seen.”

Horrified neighbor Tomorow Williams says: “It’s a baby. It’s an innocent child. She didn’t ask to be here. I mean, if they didn’t want her, why keep her?”

In a GoFundMe page to raise money for the tot’s funeral, mom Veronica Jones, who lived elsewhere while Royalty stayed with her grandma, says her “heart has been ripped from my chest. Royalty Marie Floyd was the best thing that ever happened to me.”

She also had doubts about her mom’s guilt, saying, “My mother loved my daughter. She always treated Royalty like royalty.”

But the sheriff insists Jones, who’s being held on $500,000 bond, was “the only one who was there with the child at the time.”

Apparently, she wanted to be rid of the toddler, cops claim. Sources say Jones had piled the child’s stuff — a scooter, stroller, high chair and trash barrel — at the curb outside the house ready for garbage pickup before the ..

Local pastor Louis Bailey, who lived next door, blames the atrocity on “the devil.”

“She set the toys outside. I

never thought anything of it because I'm not really nosy. That was the work of the devil". say they have no motive for the gruesome crime and are waiting for even more terrifying evidence. They suspect an autopsy will find little Royalty was still alive when put in the oven.

The stomach-turning crime was discovered by Veronica’s brother, Royalty’s uncle, who immediatel­y called cops.

Williams believes “dark days such as these can only be brightened when justice is served.”
