SAN FRANCISCO — The city and county of Napa will pay $5 million to relatives of a 3-year-old girl who was tortured and killed by her mother and her mother's boyfriend.
The San Francisco Chronicle says a December settlement was announced Wednesday in a wrongful death lawsuit over the 2014 killing of Kayleigh Slusher. The money will go to the girl's father and grandparents.
