A Louisiana woman accused of killing her boyfriend’s 6-year-old daughter, and leaving the body on the front lawn of the girl’s mother, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, according to multiple local outlets.

Investigators said Bunnak “Hannah” Landon beat and strangled Bella Fontenelle on the night of April 25 in Harahan, just outside New Orleans. She’s accused of putting the girl’s body in a large plastic bucket and dragging it to the nearby home of Bella’s mom. The body was discovered on the front lawn the next morning.

Bella’s father, Michael Fontenelle, called authorities early on April 26 when he realized both Landon and his 6-year-old child were missing, local television station WVUE reported.

Surveillance video from neighborhood homes appears to show a woman matching Landon’s description walking several blocks to the home of Bella’s mother while pulling a 12-gallon chlorine bucket.

Landon, who shared a home with Fontenelle, was arrested and booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center on charges of first-degree murder and obstruction of justice on April 27.

On Thursday, the Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Office announced that a grand jury indicted the 43-year-old suspect on one count of first-degree murder and two counts of obstruction of justice, according to New Orleans’ NBC affiliate WDSU.

Landon appeared in Jefferson Parish Magistrate Court via Zoom early on Friday. She pleaded not guilty to all three charges, The New Orleans Advocate reported.

Landon is currently being held at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna, just outside New Orleans, on a $2.5 million bond.

She’s expected to return to court on Sept. 25 for a status hearing.

If convicted, Landon will face a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors will not pursue the death penalty, according to a spokesperson for the Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Office.
