Police in Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture, have arrested a 26-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of fatally abusing his three-year-old son at their home in January.
According to police, Takashi Iida, who was arrested on Friday, is suspected of beating his son Toki on January 29, NTV reported. The boy’s mother was not home at the time of the incident.
Iida called 119 and said his son had lost consciousness after falling down some stairs.
The boy was taken to hospital where he died from blood loss due to internal injuries at around 4:40 p.m. Bruises were found on his body, so the hospital contacted police about a possible case of child abuse.
Police have not revealed whether Iida has admitted to abusing his son. They said there had been no reports of prior abuse.

As I wrote multiple times, there are creatures in human shapes but they are not human. I fully support dead penalty for these sick creatures.

Kids are so adorable at this age. How can a grown man justify to himself to hit a tiny little kid so hard? I hope he dies.
