A mother identified as Ivey Marie Lewis, who was also pregnant, is processed by the authorities for allegedly having murdered his 3-year-old son, apparently because the little one urinated on the bed.
The events occurred in the city of Tacoma, in the state of Washington, USA. The authorities arrived at the house after “responding to a third-hand report of a child who was unresponsive and cold to the touch in an apartment,” according to the Tacoma Police Department said.
However, they found the dead child, whose body had bruises, burn marks and cuts, detailed the newspaper ‘Mirror’. As stated, the minor had marks on his body indicating that he had been struck with a blunt object. At first, the mother indicated that the child had a habit of hitting the walls.
However, when the authorities found blood spattered on the walls of the house, the woman confessed that he had hit the child with a belt and an electric cable as punishment, since the minor had urinated on the mattress.
