WINNIPEG — The mother of a young woman whose fatal beating was filmed and posted online recalled Tuesday the pain of seeing her daughter’s bloody, swollen face on social media. McKay’s mother, recalling her beautiful and kind daughter, held an eagle feather as she read her statement. “This has been a nightmare to me,” Daniels told court. Two videos, which later circulated on social media, showed McKay on the ground and crying while she was being attacked. McKay’s grandmother Gloria Lalman told court that when she learned about what had happened, her heart “felt like it had been pierced with a sharp object.”McKay’s death left a permanent void in the family, she said.
