6-year-old girl in critical condition after hammer attack; mother charged with attempted murder

  • On June 19, Louisville police found a 6-year-old girl with multiple blunt force head injuries after her mother struck her with a hammer in Park DuValle.
  • The incident occurred after the mother admitted to often experiencing intense anger and struggling to control her emotions, leading her to hit her daughter multiple times in the head with a hammer.
  • The girl's son restrained the mother after the attack, reporting she said 'let me finish her' while trying to return to the victim, and police arrested the 40-year-old Zeinab Abdi.
  • The child remains in critical condition at Norton Children's Hospital, and Abdi was arraigned on Friday on attempted murder charges, with the judge barring contact with minors and ordering her held in Louisville Metro Corrections.
  • Abdi is scheduled to appear again in court on June 30, as the homicide unit continues investigating this domestic violence case with significant implications for child safety enforcement.
