WAUKEGAN, Ill. -- The family of a 6-year-old boy whose body was found in Gary Friday sought to punish him last month before the child's death; they then tried to dispose of his body in Indiana, Illinois state prosecutors said in court Sunday.
Jeremiah Perry, the boy's 20-year-old brother who has been charged with aggravated battery, concealing a homicide and obstruction of justice in his death, was in bond court Sunday morning. "Prosecutors, investigators, and victim support professionals worked late into the night and into the early morning to make sure we understood this tragic crime now, because of their rigorous and detailed investigation, we will be able to bring Damari's killers to justice in a courtroom," Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart said.
North Chicago police initially said the boy's disappearance came after he and his sister were allegedly driven to a party in Skokie. Now, investigators say that story from family members was not true.
Fuckin Animals!
He had to be in an abusive situation all the time. This time they went too far. RIP little guy. Mother and siblings should spend the rest of their disgusting lives behind bars. 😭😭
