A father from New Jersey
has been arraigned on charges of murder after he allegedly killed his
3-year-old son, Creato Brendan, because his teenage girlfriend disliked
his kid and threatened to break up with him.
Creato made a call to
911 to report his son’s disappearance around 6am on October 13 and
following a frantic search involving K-9 units and volunteers, his body
was found in the woods in Cooper River Park about three hours after his
father, 22-year-old David Creato, reported him missing from his family’s
Haddon Township home on Cooper Street.
Police found no sign of forced entry in Creato’s apartment.
Brendan according the report, split his time between his parent's homes who had shared his custody.
The
prosecutor, Christine Shah, on Tuesday, said the case against Creato was
largely circumstantial and came down to his ‘intense’ relationship with
17-year-old Julia Spensky, who allegedly resented Brendan’s presence in
his father’s home.
The
prosecutor said, “Spensky allegedly told her boyfriend that she did not
like kids and threatened to break up with him because Creato had custody
of the toddler every other weekend, which interfered in their love
affair, and continued being in contact with the boy’s mother.
“Brendan
is a victim of ‘homicidal violence’ and may have been smothered,
strangled or drowned, based on the fact that the child had bruising near
his collarbone and his brain showed signs of oxygen deprivation before
his death.
“Creato,
on a 911 call, told authorities he woke up on the morning of his son’s
disappearance and realized the toddler was gone. The boy was wearing
only his pajamas, neon socks and Mickey Mouse slippers.
Reports
say Creato was arrested on Monday and facing charges of murder and
endangering the welfare of a child in the death of his three-year-old
son.
