'No doubt that this child was severely beaten': Man booked in Gretna baby's death
Gretna police arrested a man and booked him with the murder of an 11-month-old boy whose body was so severely beaten, detectives and doctors called it one of the "worst cases" of child abuse they'd ever seen, according to authorities.
"The child's skull was like a cracked eggshell," said Capt. Russell Lloyd of the Gretna Police Department.
Doctors took Aaron off life support on Friday - which was his 1st birthday -- and he died a short time later. An autopsy conducted Saturday determined Aaron's death to be a homicide and revealed the brutality of the baby's injuries, according to Lloyd.
Fernando Darocha, 29, was booked with first-degree murder, second-degree cruelty to a juvenile and obstruction of justice, according to Lloyd.
Darocha is accused of killing Aaron, the son of his live-in girlfriend, Jennifer Avila, 21. Avila was also arrested, booked with obstruction of justice for initially lying to investigators about the infant's injuries in a bid to help Darocha cover up the crime, Lloyd said.
