A woman has been arrested and a man, who had been on the run, is also behind bars in connection with the blunt-force-trauma death of a four-year-old boy, according to Houston police.
Dustyn Skyler Roff was found dead at the home where he lived with his mother, Britni Bereasa Glover on Friday morning.
The boy’s 23-year-old mother was arrested and charged with injury to a child by omission. Her boyfriend Michael Allen Seaton, 21, faces capital murder charges and was on the run. However, Seaton ended up turning himself in on Tuesday morning as the search was gaining momentum.
"HPD officers responded to a report of a deceased child at the (address removed)and found young Dustyn to have suffered multiple injuries and bruises in various stages of healing throughout his body," police say.
Michael Seaton is accused of abusing the four-year-old. Houston police say last Thursday he was so mad that Glover came home from work late that he began to beat the boy so badly he died.
Britni Glover, from the Harris County Jail, told reporters with KTRK-TV that in the months that she was with Seaton, he never hit her. Instead, according to investigators, her four-year-old was the target.
CPS had two previous reports of abuse involving the mother and child but a spokeswoman says when they followed up, they could never find the two.
The manager of the apartment complex where they lived says several tenants had witnessed Seaton hitting Dustyn outside.
Michael Seaton has a history of abusing children, including a previous conviction for abusing a two-year-old girl
