A New Mexico father was arrested on Friday and charged with beating his 5-year-old daughter to death after she told him she didn't want to do her homework.
The father said he began spanking the girl when she refused to do her homework around 8 p.m. Thursday before he eventually"blacked out," according to a criminal complaint obtained by Albuquerque ABC affiliate KOAT. "When rescue arrived they realized this was turning into a criminal situation and they called us and we took over the investigation," an Albuquerque Police Department spokesperson said Friday at a press conference."AFR recognized that this wasn't consistent with what they were being told and it became a criminal investigation."
"Detectives learned from hospital staff that the girl had suffered serious injuries," Albuquerque Police Chief Michael Geier said."Detectives from our crimes against children unit were called to the scene to investigate with the assistance of our homicide unit."According to the complaint, officers found blood on the living room walls and the carpet when they arrived.
