A mother in California has been accused of strangling and drowning her 7-year-old daughter in their bathtub — with neighbors saying they heard the child screaming, “Mommy, please no!” right before her alleged murder, which her fiance claims was fueled by the woman’s depression and fears over her immigration status.

Graciela Castellanos, 37, was allegedly suffering from mental health issues and was worried that she was going to be deported over her legal status, her fiance tells local ABC affiliate KABC, speaking under the condition of anonymity.
