The 9-year-old boy whose skeletal remains were found in a Houston apartment with three apparently abandoned brothers was murdered, Texas authorities said Tuesday.
Authorities said the child died of homicidal violence and had multiple blunt-force injuries, reported KPRC-TV, citing the Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The three children had been living with their sibling’s decaying corpse and being fed by neighbors, while their mother and her boyfriend lived just 15 minutes away.
The eldest, a 15-year-old boy, called police on Sunday after texting his mother that he could not take it anymore,
He’d been alone for months with two brothers, aged 7 and 10, and the brother whose remains were in a bedroom. Neighbors told KTRK that he relied on them for food, accepting only packaged snacks, fruit and pizza. The house had no power, and one neighbor let the teen charge his phone.
