HOUSTON – The authorities reported that they found the body of an eight-year-old boy in the facilities of a hotel located in west Houston this Tuesday night.
A woman and her boyfriend have been charged for the death of her 8-year-old son, who was found by officers dead in a room from the Quality Inn Suites West Chase hotel, located at 2930 W. Sam Houston Parkway.
According to the Houston Police Department, the woman 24 and her boyfriend, 28, face charges of injury to a minor and concealment of evidence . Both have not been identified by the authorities.
According to the call that the accused woman made to 911, reported that the child had drowned in the hotel room tub.
The emergency teams that arrived at the hotel found the child in the middle of the room with “multiple injuries” that did not coincide with drowning.
The child was pronounced dead at Texas Children’s Hospital West.
Doctors who treated him assure that the drowning version is suspicious, so the Harris County Prosecutor’s Office decided to accept the criminal charges against the couple.
The investigation continues.
