This is a disheartening story from Philadelphia is that a 1-year-old boy has died
after being raped and killed by his mother’s boyfriend. The man known
for being a street goon has been charged with murder, aggravated
assault, rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and related
offenses.
The suspect has been named as 24-year-old Saleem Salaam, from
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Police said that he brutally raped then
killed the 1-year-old boy. It was initially thought that the boy was
his stepson but later it was discovered that he’s only dating the
victim’s mother.
The assault took place on June 7. Someone found the abused child
unresponsive on an upstairs floor and alerted the police following which
they arrived at Saleem’s residence to arrest him. The child was taken
to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where doctors noted that he had
multiple bruises and injuries indicating sexual assault. Some of the
injuries on the child’s body appeared to have been inflicted before June
7. He was pronounced dead a few hours later.
Homicide Capt. James Clark later confirmed the sad incident, saying:
“The young man had been tortured, brutally beaten and sexually assaulted,” Clark said.
