Dad ‘crushed’ after learning the newborn twins were not his. So he beats one to death, and locks them in closet because they were apparently ‘stinking’

A 40-year-old man in Washington, D.C., is facing serious legal consequences following the death of a 2-month-old infant. Demetrius Beatty has been charged with first-degree felony murder and first-degree cruelty to children after the death of Khamyah Honesty, who suffered multiple blunt-force injuries.

According to Law & Crime, Beatty was left feeling “crushed” after learning the mother of the twins had conceived them with another man who is currently incarcerated. While Beatty and the mother lived together and shared other children, they were not in a romantic relationship at the time of the incident. Prosecutors allege Beatty’s jealousy and anger over the biological father’s status fueled a series of threats against the infants.
