7-Year-Old Boy Killed While Being Punished For Failing To Memorize Bible Verses. [View all]
The punishment was for "not knowing 13 Bible verses to Timothy’s satisfaction," WLUK TV reports.
A medical examiner's report indicates that there were injuries on Ethan's body, including blunt force trauma to the head, abdomen and chest as well as a fractured rib. Those injuries correspond with Damian's statement to police that he thought he had struck Ethan 100 times. He also allegedly hit Ethan's twin.
"Over the course of 1-1.5 hours, the 15-year-old hit, kicked, struck and poked Ethan numerous times. He repeatedly shoved Ethan to the ground and rolled the heavy log across Ethan’s chest. He stood on his body and head while Ethan was face-down in a puddle," the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office said.
Damian also admitted to authorities that he covered Ethan with snow, placing him “in his own little coffin of snow,” the criminal complaint says.
