Keriana
Tellado
Connecticut
Little
Keriana was just 2 years old when she
was
beat to death by her mother's live-in-boyfriend.
He was
also beating another child as well, Crystal.
He would
hit the girls with his hands and a belt because
they were slow in potty training.
Two
days before she died, he picked up Keriana by the arm after she wet herself
and
"heard
something go pop."
He refused
to let the mother take the girl to the hospital
to treat
the broken arm, because he feared the doctors
would
see the cuts, bruises and burn marks that covered her little body.
He began
beating little Keriana again ,
kicking
this poor baby and cutting her with his rings.
When
she threw up after dinner , he took her to
the
bathroom and began banging her head against the shower wall.
"Little
Keriana could not stand up, so he kept on picking
her
up by the hair,"
"He
picked her up a couple of times and her hair was coming
out
in his hands. "The medical examiner ruled that little Keriana died of blunt
force trauma to the head.
Her
mother Virginia Quintero, 19 years old
was
arrested is being held on $500,000 bond.
She
was arrested for failing to protect her children.
Ivo
Colon, 18 years old, was arrested and is
being
held on $4 million bond,
accused
of beating to death Keriana, and assaulting
little
3 year old Crystal. He faces charges of
murder
and assault. If convicted he could
receive
the death penalty.
UPDATE:.....4-13-01
Ivo
Colon was convicted of Capital Felony Murder in December 2000 and now joins
6 other men on Connecticut's death row.
