THE TWISTED relatives of a ten-year-old locked her into a storage bin where she suffocated to death, because she stole a popsicle, cops say.
Ame Deal, was found dead after being padlocked into a storage container and being forced to spend the night into it.
Disgusted cops said the child was 4 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed just 59 pounds, while her tight fighting prison was less than 3 feet long, 14 inches wide and about a foot deep.
Phoenix Police Spokesman, Sergeant Trent Crump said: "This case has turned the stomachs of some of most seasoned detectives. This child died at the hands of those who were supposed to love and care for her."
Cops arrested the girl's elder cousin and her husband, Samantha and John Allen, both 23, on suspicion of first-degree murder after they confessed to locking the child in the storage container.

The girl's aunt and legal guardian, Cynthia Stoltzmann, and grandmoth Judith Deal, 62, were also  arrested on suspicion of child abuse and kidnapping Reuters reports.
Police said Stoltzmann, 44, had left the girl in the care of her daughter and son-in-law while she was out of the home.
But both the aunt and grandmother were accused of having abused the child in the past by confining her to the same hinged, plastic storage bin.
The Allens were ordered held in lieu of $1 million cash bond each, while bond was set at $500,000 each for Stoltzmann and her mother during an initial court appearance on Thursday.
