A US jury has found a man guilty of killing his ill 11-year-old daughter by praying for her recovery rather than seeking medical care, BBC reported.

The man, Dale Neumann, told a court in the state of Wisconsin he believed God could heal his daughter.

She died of a treatable disease - undiagnosed diabetes - at home in rural Wisconsin in March last year, as people surrounded her and prayed.

Mr Neumann's wife was convicted earlier this year.

The couple both face up to 25 years in prison when they are sentenced in October.
