Photographs of the abuse suffered by Malachi Subecz were taken by a daycare more than a month before his murder at the hands of Michaela Barriball, the woman entrusted with his care. Michaela Barriball has pleaded guilty to the murder of Malachi Subecz, among other charges, and will be sentenced at the end of June. Malachi also told daycare staff twice when attending to his injuries that Michaela Barriball “was going to be mad at him”. “Daycare staff reported that he was a normal child, was not accident prone,” the summary of facts noted. Stuff asked the manager of the daycare Malachi attended whether they were aware of the photographs, but they declined to comment citing legal advice.
