AbateHate.com — Ahren DeHart, age 1, died of intentional trauma in El Paso, Texas.
Charged with capital murder was Marvin Rex Lake, 24.
Reports say the 13-month-old infant died after "being treated for multiple skull fractures, bleeding in his lungs, abdominal injuries and bruises on his face and body."
Lake was babysitting the toddler when, reports say, he gripped the infant's head like a football and used wrestling move on him.
The incident occurred April 12, 2021.
Take aways...
• Acquiring a babysitter who has a low IQ, low impulse control, low executive function and other natural features that would suggest a violent nature, is ill advised.
• Reality denial is deadly.
As the interview went on, Lake’s story changed. He told detectives he’d performed several “wrestling-style moves” on Ahren, at one point dropping him.
The boy’s head struck the frame of the futon, he said.
Lake also admitted he’d gripped the baby’s head tightly like a football after growing angry, the affidavit states. He told detectives he was angry because the baby had ripped a pillow.
Lake said he had anger issues and didn’t realize his own strength, KFOX14 reported.
Police allege that when the detectives and Lake took a break in his questioning, Lake called a witness in the case and placed her on speaker phone. Lake told the woman he was responsible for the baby’s internal injuries but had not caused the skull fractures, according to KTSM.
The two other children in Lake’s care also had injuries, El Paso police said. Their injuries are under investigation.
