Sheriff’s deputies in Houston made a horrifying discovery in an apartment Sunday: three children who they say were abandoned with the decaying body of another child inside.
« I had never heard of a scenario like this. It really caught me by surprise, » Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a news conference Sunday. The sheriff’s office says the children are 15,10 and 7 years old and are siblings. In a news release, the sheriff’s office said the 15-year-old called authorities and said his 9-year-old brother has been dead for a year and that his body was in the room next to his.
