California prosecutors have revealed the methods detectives used to obtain a confession from a father accused of killing his seven-month-old son before discarding his body in a bin.
Jake Haro, 32, initially told officers that his son, Emmanuel, had been abducted by a stranger. Investigators say that account soon collapsed under scrutiny, leading police to deploy covert tactics which ultimately prompted Haro to admit guilt. The case has raised wider questions about child protection failures and the use of undercover operations in criminal investigations.
