Texas Mother Shoots 4 Year-Old Daughter in Murder-Suicide Hours After Losing Custody Battle
The ruling imposed language and activity restrictions, and financial obligations, before the mother killed the child and took her own life, ABC13 reported.
- On Tuesday, September 29, Cibelle Savella killed her 4-year-old daughter, Vivian, and herself in their $824,000 Houston home hours after a court granted custody to her ex-husband, Aaron Savella.
- The Brazilian-born mother divorced Aaron two years ago, and the split hardened into a bitter custody battle over Vivian that culminated in the decisive court ruling.
- Restrictions imposed by the judge forbade Cibelle from speaking Portuguese to Vivian or attending school activities, while also mandating child support and medical cost obligations.
- Lawyer Charlotte Rainwater, who represented Aaron, told KHOU the family is "shattered," adding, "I've been practicing family law for 28 years and have never experienced anything like this."
- Houston Police Lieutenant Larry Crowson confirmed the murder-suicide occurred at the residence, as surviving relatives expressed they were "devastated" by the loss of the child.
