A 12-year-old girl was left without food or water to die in the backyard of her foster home, delirious with pain and unable to move, a court has heard.

Crown Prosecutor Richard Coates said doctors at Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) uncovered a "massive 1.5 litres of puss" in the child's leg, caused by a fracture to her left thigh.

Sisters Toni Melville, 43, and Denise Reynolds, 42, have been charged with the manslaughter of the girl, who first started to limp following a school sports day.

Three weeks later, on July 12 last year, she died from a blood and bone infection.

Mr Coates said osteomyelitis was a condition common in children that doctors would have had "no difficulty diagnosing".

"With medical treatment she could have made a full recovery," he said on the first day of a Northern Territory Supreme Court trial in Darwin.

  2. This is life. Sh*t happens. Build a bridge or you will be depressed by everything. This is what they call the hard truth.

  3. That wasn't just odd. It was inhumane. They should suffer for what they did.

  4. I say break their legs and make them suffer.
