PROVIDENCE -- The jury in the Katherine Bunnell child-murder case announced that it reached a verdict at 12:15 p.m.

The jury had started its third day of deliberations this morning, filing into the courtroom at about 9:45 a.m.

Bunnell, 24, is on trial for murder and murder conspiracy. She is accused with her boyfriend, Gilbert Delestre, of fatally beating 3-year old Thomas "T.J." Wright when they returned to their Woonsocket apartment from a night out 3 1/2 years ago and found a mess on the livingroom floor.

"T.J." had been placed in their care when Bunnell's sister went to prison.
