Beni posted a moving image on Facebook which appears to show his hands clutching his daughter’s tiny hand on her death bed.
A Just Giving page has been set up to raise money to fly Josephine’s body to Michigan for her funeral and has already raised nearly $38,000 of the $50,000 target. The message on the crowd funding page reads: ‘The family would like to transport the body of the little girl to Michigan for funeral services. We would like to help cover the transport and funeral expenses.’
The page states that Josephine is the daughter of Beni and Simona, who have nine children.
Flutur initially was charged with first-degree assault and first-degree wanton endangerment and bail was set at $500,000. After the death of his niece on Sunday evening, the charges were upgraded to murder, assault and wanton endangerment with a $1 million bond placed over him after being remanded in solitary confinement.
When Flutur was arrested on Saturday jail officials said he had been acting too violently for a mugshot.
