Murtadah Mohammad murdered Jaevion Riley: Half a year after his son succumbed to horrific burns and other injuries, a New Hampshire man has been charged with murder.
The defendant, Murtadah Mohammad, caused the child’s death “recklessly under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of his life by subjecting him to abusive violence and not obtaining timely medical assistance for his injuries,” the Manchester Police Department said Monday. The victim, Jaevion Riley, was just 7 years old.

Mohammad was already jailed for first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of falsifying physical evidence, and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.
“It is anticipated that those charges will be dropped, and prosecution transferred wholly to the Attorney General’s Office to pursue the murder charge and any associated charges,” the New Hampshire Department of Justice said.
