NEW GRAPHIC DETAILS: Parents charged with killing their 15-month-old child last fall both described the boy as 'demonic' during graphic testimony Friday about the physical abuse the baby was put through before he died.
In graphic testimony, a Farmington Hills Police Detective explaind what he learned from multiple interviews with the parents of a 15-month-old who was abused and killed in a motel room in October.Police said the homeless couple accused of abusing and murdering their 15-month-old son last fall called their baby a demon on multiple occasions and the baby was subjected to graphic beatings with a phone cord, hanger, and their hands.
When he returned the second time, he knocked and said he had a key and would enter. Only then did Amanda open the door. Gerak explained that officers entered the room because of the incoming storm. He said they also spoke with the grandmother who said she had learned from Amanda that the baby had at least three head injuries.
The 15-month-old baby was in his playpen inside the motel that day when Isaias told the detective he forcefully picked up the baby, to the point the baby's head and neck snapped in a way that caused him to convulse. There were more injuries to Isaiah, however. Detective Gerak said he was bruised ‘head to toe’ including some on his legs, just above his knees which Isaias described as ‘finger slaps’.
"After the second interview, as we were getting towards the end of the interview, he said that his son wanted to cross over' and then after we told him to stand up and we were going to take him back to his cell, he said something about him wanting to cross over," Gerak said. "We asked him if he was intending to kill himself, which he denied."Gerak said it didn't appear at any time that Isaias was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Amanda said the baby's body was shutting down on Sunday and Isaiah was convulsing. In response to this, she said she tied his hands together.
