Suad Ali (Otter Tail County Jail)
FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (KFGO/KBRF) – A Pelican Rapids mother has pleaded guilty to unintentional murder in the death of her 3-year-old daughter.
Suad Mohammed Ali, 30, was arrested on July 10, 2023 after Pelican Rapids police were called to her house on a report of an unresponsive child. Responders brought the girl to Essentia Health St. Mary’s in Detroit Lakes where she died.
According to court documents, Ali told officers that she had killed her daughter, saying she suffocated her to stop her crying for food, and smiled while responders were performing CPR.
Ali was initially charged with murder, but in October of 2023, she was found incompetent to be tried. Last month, Ali was found competent by the court. She pleaded guilty Thursday.
Ali is set to be sentenced on June 16.
