Dad charged with murder for scalding son, 7, with hot water as discipline: cops
Murtadah Mohammad was charged with second-degree murder of his 7-year-old son Jaevion Riley.The dad — who was arrested two days later on Jan. 19 — initially claimed he didn’t see his son get hurt as the child had been in the shower at the time but investigators didn’t find signs that the shower had been run recently.
Following other inconsistencies in Mohammad’s story, he eventually admitted to police that he disciplined the boy using hot water and physical force, the outlet reported citing the dad’s affidavit. The child’s mother Rainah Riley told the news site in January, “This man was trying to kill my child.”The mom said her son’s injuries looked like they were “from boiling water or oil,” or the child may have been “set on fire.”“It is absolutely gruesome, it is horrific, and it is sickening to look at,” the mom said. “It makes me physically ill looking at my own son because of what this man did to him.
Mohammad had only won shared custody of Jaevion a few months prior to the death and Riley had reported to child services signs of abuse, including bruising.The dad was originally charged with assault and endangering the welfare of a child but officials added the heavier charge on Monday.The father allegedly admitted to using physical force and hot water to discipline the boy.“The system has failed not only my child, but so many children,” the mom said.
The Manchester public defender’s office — which was closed for the holiday — didn’t immediately return an email request for comment Tuesday.
