Horror: Babysitter Kills Baby While Applying “Wrestling Braces” to Calm Him | the Chronicle

A subject who worked as a babysitter in the American city of El Paso was incarcerated for first degree murder for the death of a one year old baby to which, he admitted, he applied “various ‘keys’ of struggle”, reported the channel Fox News.

April 13, Marvin Rex Lake (24), watched over Ahren Joshua DeHart and two other minors while their parents worked. According to the victim’s mother, that day she saw a video call to her son, which appeared to be “healthy and alert, but crying and restless.” In the evening, Lake called her to warn her that the little one “I had vomited something red” and when I got home, shortly before midnight, found him unconscious.

The boy was taken to hospital, where medical staff detected numerous injuries described as “acute and not accidental”, according to a police statement. Eventually it was determined that He had brain damage, pulmonary hemorrhage and abdominal bruising, as well as a fractured skull. He remained in intensive care and three days later specialists they decided to disconnect him from his life support system and he passed away.

As Lake confessed, on the day of the events he was with the kids watching TV and at some point got mad at Ahren for breaking a pillow, and in retaliation applied “several keys and ‘punishments’ in the style of wrestling “, which included squeezing him hard and not measuring his own strength. In the middle of it all, the baby slipped out of his hands and hit the edge of a cabinet. “I didn’t hurt his head, I only caused internal injuries”, it was justified.

A coroner determined that Ahren’s death was a intentional homicide by trauma. That same day, Marvin was arrested and interned in an El Paso detention center, where he remains without bail. Meanwhile, authorities are awaiting information on the condition of the other two children in Lake’s care, who they were also injured.
