Thu 30 Oct 2014 In: International News

Murder victim Gabriel Fernandez An American woman and her ex-boyfriend have admitted torturing and murdering her eight-year-old son, because they thought he was gay, and will avoid the death penalty. Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre will be imprisoned for life without parole after admitting killing Gabriel Fernandez. He died in a Southern California hospital two days after being admitted. His mother had called 911 and when paramedics arrived they found the boy naked, with a cracked skull, several broken ribs and BB pellets in his lung and groin. According to reports, Fernandez and Aguirre tortured the boy for months, including beating him after he played with dolls, hitting him with baseball bats and locking him inside a cabinet with a sock in his mouth so he couldn’t call for help.
