An Overflowing Bathtub Stuffed with Clothes Hid Two Kids’ Bodies from the NYPD
The murders of two young New York City children stabbed to death were masked under a torrent of clothes in a bathtub running with water, according to police.
The bodies of the boys—Deshawn Fleming, 3, and Octavius Canada, 11 months old—were found by their father on Saturday night at a homeless shelter in the Bronx, police told the New York Post. The gruesome discovery came nearly an hour after cops brought their mother to the hospital.
“Despite the officers’ best efforts, both children succumbed to their injuries,” NYPD Deputy Chief Louis De Ceglie said at a press conference.
