A Michigan man could face life in prison after he allegedly tortured and ultimately killed his girlfriend’s 4-year-old son last week for wetting his pants, prosecutors say.
Brandon Joshua-Frederick Hayes, 24, “systematically beat” Dominick Calhoun, 4, “pummeling [him] with fists and kicking him” on his arms, legs and genitalia, Genesee County prosecutor David Leyton told CNN.
Hayes also apparently burned the boy in the course of the torture. “The knuckles across one hand were charred,” Argentine Township police chief Dan Allen said.
