Mom Saw Her Sons 'Killed Before Her' in Double Murder-Suicide, Boynton Police Say

At the crime scene after the killings, detectives found a blue bag with a second firearm, extra ammunition, duct tape, cutting shears and a note, police say

By Gilma Avalos and Juan Ortega | Sunday, Feb 3, 2013 | Updated 6:30 PM EST

A South Florida man strangled his two young sons with a rope at his estranged wife’s house and then used a gun to shoot one of the boys several times before he shot himself to death, authorities said Saturday afternoon.

Police say Isidro Zavala, 45, early Saturday went to the Boynton Beach home of his wife with the intention of killing her and their children, Eduardo Zavala, 12, and Mario Zavala, 11.

At the crime scene, detectives found a blue bag with a second firearm, extra ammunition, duct tape, cutting shears and a note addressed to Zavala's oldest son, who was not at the residence during the killings, police said.

Isidro Zavala carried out his plan, but with an exception: He spared his wife, Victoria Flores Zavala, 36, so that she could suffer, police said.

“What Mrs. Zavala had to go through -- watch her children killed before her -- is probably the most horrific thing you could ever imagine, at least for me,” said Boynton Beach Police Chief G. Matthew Immler, saying that he himself is a parent.

The motive for the killing "is just speculation at this point," Immler said.

Victoria Flores Zavala contacted police, who arrived at her house in the 400 block of Southwest Eighth Avenue about 1:50 a.m. Saturday.

Officers found one child dead in a back screened patio area. A second child was found dead in the kitchen dining room area. Officers found Isidro Zavala’s body in the kitchen, police said.

Victoria Zavala said that her husband killed their children, police said. She said her husband had been separated from her for some time and no longer lived in the house.

She told detectives that she was watching TV when she heard commotion in the house, went to check on her children and saw Isidro Zavala choking one of his sons, police said.

Then the killings happened. Mario was the boy who was shot repeatedly, police said. The mother had tried to stop her spouse.

“She tried fighting him off and begged him to kill her and not the children,” Boynton Beach police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said in a press release. “He told her she was going to stay alive and suffer the loss of them.”

Detectives obtained a warrant to search the house, as well as a house in the 1100 block of Southeast Third Street, where Isidro Zavala had been living, police said.

The Zavalas have a 19-year-old son who does not live with his family and was not there when the killings occurred, police said. The note found at the crime scene addressed to him said something to the effect that "he was a good son," police said.

Detectives have called the state Department of Children and Families to investigate. “It should be noted that there is no history of reports of domestic violence or abuse noted at the house,” Slater said.

The Zavala couple married in 1993, records show. In 1999, the pair signed a $73,700 mortgage on the home where the killings occurred, Palm Beach County records show.

In October last year, Victoria Flores Zavala filed for divorce from her husband in Palm Beach County, a case that records showed was still listed as pending.

Immler called Saturday's case "an unusually brutal type of murder," but said such murder-suicide cases unfortunately have been known to happen.

"And certainly I've seen it over the years of being a police officer, that there are mentally disturbed people out there who commit these types against their own family members, against their own loved ones," he said.

The police chief turned his attention to the surviving Zavalas.

"Hopefully, as time passes, perhaps their wounds will heal. I doubt it," he said. "You know, I don’t believe you could ever recover from something like this.

"Hopefully, the surviving Zavalas can get the help they need and somehow go on with life."

If you want to know what institutionalized fathers rights looks like, you need look no further than Saudi Arabia, where a daddy can murder his young daughter and get by with a fine. 

The killer daddy is FAYHAN AL-GHAMDI.

Anger over death of Saudi girl after father's 'beating' 

The campaign was launched by Manal al-Sharif - known for her efforts to win women the right to drive The case of a five-year-old Saudi girl who died after allegedly being beaten by her father has sparked outrage and an online campaign in the kingdom.

 The girl, Lama, was the daughter of Fayhan al-Ghamdi, an Islamic preacher who made regular appearances on TV.

 He was arrested after Lama's death in November but was reportedly absolved by the judge in the case.

The verdict has sparked an online campaign calling for punishment for violence against women and children.

Saudi media reports said that Ghamdi had paid 200,000 riyals ($50,000; £31,500) in "blood money" - a sum that can be paid to relatives of a murder victim and which, if accepted, can replace a death sentence.

The amount is half what would have been necessary if Lama had been male.

The women's rights activist Manal al-Sharif has launched a Twitter campaign using the hashtag "Ana Lama" (Arabic for "I am Lama") to demand legislation criminalising violence against women or children, the BBC's Sebastian Usher reports.

A few people have signed up so far, but Saudi activists say it's unlikely to have much effect, our analyst says. 

But with concern over the issue growing, the Saudi authorities have recently said a 24-hour hotline will be set up to take calls about child abuse.

 Lama's mother has said she will pursue the case however she can.

Father goes on trial 'for starving and beating daughter, 3, to death after months of abuse because she was incontinent'

Lexi Pounder was found beaten and malnourished in January 2010
Her father and his fiancee 'refused to give her food, made her sleep on the floor and forced her to run as punishment for soiling herself'
Fiancee Michelle Nicole Smith has already pleaded guilty and will now testify in the trial of Donald Lee Cockrell

A father has gone on trial for allegedly beating and starving his three-year-old daughter to death - three years after her bruised, malnourished body was found at his home.

Donald Lee Cockrell, 30, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Alexis Marie Pounder with his fiancee, Michelle Nicole Smith, in Sandy, Oregon in January 2010.

Smith pleaded guilty to the killing last year and faces a minimum of 30 years behind bars, and as part of the plea deal she will testify against Cockrell.

Alexis, who was known as Lexi, weighed just 21 pounds when paramedics found her beaten body at the garbage-filled home she shared with Cockrell, Smith and four other children under five.
Investigators said it was one of the worst cases they have ever seen.

The young girl, who had lived at the home since October 2009, was incontinent and was repeatedly punished for soiling herself, The Oregonian reported.

If the family went out to a fast-food restaurant, she was the only one who would go without a meal, and would be forced to sleep on the floor or to run as punishment, the paper reported.

An autopsy found that she suffered a blunt force head trauma and the report detailed scores of injuries to her little body, prosecutor Christine Landers told the jury in Cockrell's trial.

I don't know why they claim 'distraught' when it has already been well documented in study after study that FATHERS kill children to punish their Mothers for Leaving them. It is Entitlement, Belief System and the Ultimate Act of Control.

Distraught man kills self, son he feared losinghttp://newsinfo.inquirer.net/350435/distraught-man-kills-self-son-he-feared-losingGENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines—A man in South Cotabato, reportedly despondent over the prospect of separation from his 12-year-old son, set his home on fire and exploded a grenade, killing himself and the boy in the process, the police reported Thursday.Police Officer 3 Homer Celiz, case officer, identified the man as Charlie Mantilla and his son Charles Joven.Celiz said the police in the town of Polomolok received an alert about a fire followed by an explosion in Barangay Sulit around 12 noon on Wednesday and immediately sent a team there.He said when investigators arrived in the area, they were led by residents to the house of the Mantilla family.Celiz said the fire that Mantilla had started in the master bedroom was already out  by then because neighbors had managed to force their way into the house.He said the neighbors found the mutilated bodies of the Mantilla father and son in separate corners of the kitchen.Neighbors and relatives told investigators that Mantilla started showing signs of mental and emotional distress after receiving information that his wife, who works abroad, wanted their son to live with her parents for still unknown reasons, Celiz said. This worsened when he was told that his wife was coming home in February, Celiz added.Lucila, Mantilla’s mother, said her son resented the wife’s plan, which Charles Joven had confirmed earlier, because he was so attached to the boy. She said her son had taken care of the boy for the past six years while his wife was working abroad.Victoria de Pusoy, who grew up with the Mantilla clan, said before the explosion, she overheard Charles Joven pleading to his father to calm down.“Bembem (Charles Joven) asked him to stop what he was doing. He set his motorcycle on fire, went inside the master  bedroom then burned their clothes. A few minutes later, a loud explosion took place,” Victoria said.Bebing Tanare, a childhood friend of Mantilla’s, said he had been  drinking heavily since being told that Charles Joven would soon be living with his in-laws.Tanare said she asked Mantilla once if he needed help but he told her he was okay.“But he once told me also that a voice kept whispering in his ear, telling him that his son will be taken away. Maybe, he was imagining things due to too much alcohol intake,” Tanare said.

There is no mention at all of MOTHER. Where is she? 
Father admits to having 'anger management issues' as if that should excuse his behavior? Why did this convicted child abuser with admitted anger control issues have custody of two babies? How many of the past convictions were his own children? They were all infants.

Indianapolis father accused of beating his then-9-month-old son pleads guilty
http://www.indystar.com/article/20130130/NEWS02/130130040/Indianapolis-father-accused-beating-his-then-9-month-old-son-pleads-guilty

Johnny Bishop, the Indianapolis father accused of beating his then-9-month-old son, has pleaded guilty to battery charges against him.

Bishop, 30, was arrested last July after police received a report of an infant who was not breathing. Police found Bishop performing a CPR on his son inside a van parked outside an auto shop on the Southside. The infant was later transported to Riley Hospital for Children in critical condition.

Bishop pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated battery, one count of battery and one count of child neglect. He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday afternoon at Marion County Superior Court, said Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Eric Schmadeke.

As his son remained in the hospital last July, Bishop called his action “a stupid choice.”

Court documents said that as detectives interrogated Bishop, he knelt in front of a chair in the interview room and said, “Please help me with my anger issue. I made a stupid choice. I hope these people forgive me. I don’t know why I did that.”

Bishop told detectives that on July 11, 2012, he brought his son and daughter with him to work at A to Z Auto, 1149 E. Troy Ave. He told police he did not have seatbelts in his van, so his son fell from his car seat twice, documents said.

Later that day, while he was changing the boy's diaper, Bishop said his arms "tensed up" and he stopped breathing. That's when he took the boy to the van and performed CPR on him, he told detectives. He said he put two fingers into his son's throat to try to make him puke or breathe, documents said. He also mentioned shaking the boy to consciousness a couple of times.

But prosecutors said the boy’s injuries were indicative of non-accidental trauma.

Documents said doctors at Riley found two subdural hematomas or bleeding of the brain, a possible skull fracture and brain tissue damage. 

Bishop later told detectives that he has anger problems, and also admitted striking his then 3-year-old daughter. Detectives found bruises on the girl’s buttocks and scratches in other parts of her body.

Schmadeke said the boy has since been released from the hospital. It’s not immediately known who now has custody of Bishop’s two children.

This is not Bishop's first child battery charge.

In November 2003, he was arrested for allegedly beating a then-9-month-old baby boy. The police report said the boy had fractures to his left arm and rib.
Indiana Department of Correction's offender database shows Bishop was convicted of battery in April 2004. A separate battery conviction happened in October 2009.

Montrose father ruled competent to stand trial in beating death of infant son
 http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2013/01/montrose_man_accused_of_killin.html

FLINT, MI -- A 23-year-old Montrose man was ruled competent to stand trial on charges that he killed his 3-month-old son.

Genesee District Judge Mark W. Latchana ruled Tuesday, Jan. 29, that Jeramy David Wagner is competent to stand trial in the 2012 beating death of his son.

Wagner is charged with felony murder and first- and second-degree child abuse after authorities say the boy died from blunt force trauma to the head.

A preliminary exam is scheduled for Feb. 8.

Wagner's attorney, Mark Clement, said he is reviewing the case.

Clement said Wagner had "significant psychiatric issues" that included some involuntary commitments before he was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation Nov. 6.

Montrose Township police responded to an emergency call for an infant in distress at Wagner's home in Riverside Mobile Home Park on Oct. 15.

The infant's mother, Wagner's live-in girlfriend, was administering CPR to the infant when police arrived. Police took over CPR efforts but the child was pronounced dead on arrival at Hurley Medical Center.


Wagner was taken into custody Oct. 20 following a three-hour standoff at Wagner's residence.

27-Year-Old Father Kills His Five Month Old Son
http://www.osundefender.org/?p=91250

A father fatally shook his baby boy while his mother was buying Christening clothes, a court heard today.
Lee Clark, 27, is accused of injuring five-month-old Charlee and causing brain damage while the baby’s mother Natalie Holmes was shopping, a jury was told.

Newcastle Crown Court heard that Charlee was ‘smiling’ and ‘happy’ when Natalie left the family home for Darlington, County Durham, on February 25, 2011 at around 10.45am.

But when she returned to the home Gainford, County Durham, at 3pm, the baby, who was due to baptized two days later, was making a ‘funny groaning sound’, his ‘eyes were rolling backwards’ and he had bruises on each knee.

Charlee was taken to Darlington Memorial Hospital where it was obvious he was ‘extremely ill’, the court was told.
He was given oxygen and a brain scan during which Clark asked a nurse if Charlee’s injuries could have been caused by ‘shaking a baby’, the jury heard.

The scan showed that Charlee was suffering from bleeding round the brain, a swollen brain, bleeding at the back of his eyes and in his eyes, prosecutor Andrew Roberts told the court.

Attempts were made to treat Charlee in the intensive care unit but he died days later on March 1.
His Christening had been due to take place on Sunday, February 27.

Mr Roberts said: ‘Charlee, happy and normal, was left in the sole care of this defendant.
‘The Crown allege that it was while he was alone with Charlee in the home that this offence occurred.

‘Something must have happened while he was alone with Charlee because all the evidence shows he gripped and shook him vigorously.

‘The first indication that Miss Holmes had that something was not quite right was when she received a text from the defendant saying the baby was unsettled.’

Clark’s mother had arrived at the family’s home at around 12.10pm that day so the defendant could meet Miss Holmes in Darlington.

Mr Roberts added: ‘By that stage Charlee was a very different baby than the one Miss Holmes had left.
‘Charlee was in his swing whinging and grizzling.

‘When the defendant’s mother tried to lift Charlee out of the swing, Charlee let out a scream.’
Clark denies manslaughter.

The trial continues.

FATHER ARCHIE JERRELL ISOM 20 Years in Prison for Severely Injuring Five-Month-Old
http://douglasville.patch.com/articles/father-gets-20-years-in-prison-for-severely-injuring-five-month-old


Archie Jerrell Isom of Lithia Springs received a 30-year sentence by Superior Court Judge David T. Emerson after entering a guilty plea to two counts of aggravated battery.

A 24-year-old father will spend 20 years in prison after being sentenced on child abuse charges for shaking his five-month-old son so hard that it caused brain swelling, bleeding of blood vessels in the eyes and blindness, according to Douglas County District Attorney David McDade in a press release.

Archie Jerrell Isom of Lithia Springs received a 30-year sentence by Superior Court Judge David T. Emerson after entering a guilty plea to two counts of aggravated battery. After being released from prison, Isom will be required to serve the final 10 years of his sentence on probation. He is required to have no contact with the child and the child’s mother.

Assistant District Attorney Bonnie Smith told the court that the injuries suffered by the baby on Dec. 31, 2010, were consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome, a medical term used for the internal head injuries a baby or young child sustains while being violently shaken. The injuries, Smith said, occurred while the baby was in the sole care of Isom, who was watching the child while the mother was at work.

“Sometime during the mother’s lunch break she received a call from the defendant, who informed her something was wrong with the baby,” said Smith. “The defendant said he could not wake their son up and that something was wrong with the child’s body…She instructed him to hang up the phone and call 911 and she rushed home to see what happened.”

As the mother drove towards the couple’s residence, an ambulance carrying her unconscious five-month-old son was rushing away from the apartment complex towards WellStar Douglas Hospital.

“A doctor immediately noted retinal hemorrhages on the baby, a key sign of a child who has been shaken,” said Smith. “Doctors knew the baby was seriously injured and had him life-flighted to Scottish-Rite, which likely saved his life.”

When the child arrived at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite Hospital, a team of doctors also determined the injuries were consistent with him being shaken.

Smith pointed out that Isom remained silent, even amongst the chaos and uncertainty. “The mother had to sit by the side of her five-month-old child, wondering if he was going to come out of his coma, and yet the defendant said nothing.”

Isom finally broke his silence, telling authorities the child fell off a bed while the defendant was washing dishes in another room. After doctors determined his story did not match up with his son’s injuries, Isom changed his story again. This time he told authorities he tripped over a cat while carrying the baby. The accident, according to Isom, caused the child to fall and bump his head on the ground. Doctors determined that story was not consistent with the physical injuries sustained by the baby.

Apparently DAD Dominique Ford was breaking in to retrieve guns? I can almost bet although not mentioned below there is a ROI against this GENTLE DADDY. At least for now, he is in jail. But I am sure that his case is far from over. He is already trying to take the baby daughter from the her mother.

Father arrested after child shot at Savannah apartment complex
http://savannahnow.com/crime/2013-01-28/father-arrested-after-child-shot-savannah-apartment-complex#.UQk_aaIp8b0

Savannah-Chatham police arrested a 26-year-old Garden City man after his daughter was shot Monday morning at a west Chatham County apartment complex.

Dominique Ford was treated at Memorial University Medical Center, along with 2-year-old De’Kiiyah Roper, after West Chatham precinct officers found Ford walking away from the scene with the child at Westlake Apartments.

Police said neither wound received by the two was life-threatening. Investigators said the shooting occurred during a domestic dispute.

About 11:45 a.m., police were called to the apartment complex following reports of a shooting of a man and a child. They reported they found Ford had climbed out of a window with the child and was walking through a wooded area with her. He was charged with aggravated assault.

Violent Crimes detectives determined that Ford had entered the residence to retrieve a gun and a struggle then ensued between him and Dennaysha Roper, 21, the child’s mother and resident of the apartment. She was able to get the gun away from him and fired once, striking him. But he then picked up the child before she fired again, said police spokesman Julian Miller.

Miller said Criminal Investigations Division detectives are continuing to investigate the incident.

A woman who identified herself at the taped-off scene as the property manager said the apartment community has not had any recent problems.

Monday’s incident was the fourth shooting that has occurred in the past seven days and the fifth shooting in nearly four weeks.

On Jan. 23, a Savannah man was struck by a bullet police said two other men fired at his apartment door at the Turtle Creek Apartment complex on White Bluff Road.

On Jan. 22, Evan Colquitt, 17, was shot multiple times on Sharondale Road in the Windsor Forest neighborhood. He died later at the hospital.

On Jan. 21, Rebecca Lorraine Foley, 21, was fatally shot in her car near her apartment at Colonial Village at Marsh Cove off White Bluff Road.

On Jan. 9, a 24-year-old man received non-life-threatening injuries after he was shot near his home at the intersection of Fahm and Zubly streets in Yamacraw Village.

Seriously? So Again we will have 'silly dad'  et MEDIA and Lawyers  covering for this kind of  behavior.  Fatherhood Exaltation. Hence more fatherhood funding for more classes to teach daddies how to not kill. Typically is how these cases go. When will we learn that this is NOT appropriate behavior and that we can NOT teach these dads to be moms? 

And the Mother has been conditioned appropriately SHARED CUSTODY to defend the father as also in most these case after DADDY does antics like this. Mother is usually blamed and Father gains full custody. 


Dad jailed when photo of baby and gun was posted to Facebook
http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/2013/jan/29/dad-jailed-when-photo-baby-and-gun-was-posted-face/

COLERAIN TWP, Ohio (WCPO) - Ashley Price hoped her weekend would be peaceful and quiet.
It didn't turn out that way.
The Wyoming teenager dropped off her infant daughter, Paradise, at the home of his father, Domonic Gaines, in Colerain Township, Ohio.

Hours later, she was shocked to learn that he'd been arrested and charged with child endangering.The Colerain Township police report said Gaines posted a photo on Facebook of himself holding the child and a revolver BB gun. It's since been taken down.

"The close proximity of the BB gun to the child created a substantial risk of physical harm and safety of the child," the affidavit in the case read.

Gaines was arraigned Monday morning in Hamilton County Municipal Court and was released from the Hamilton County Justice Center Monday afternoon after posting 10 percent of his $2,000 bond.

"Get out of my face, bro," he told WCPO's Tom McKee as he left the Justice Center with Price, his brother and other friends.

Price said Monday she hasn't seen the picture, but the whole thing was a joke. It's now up to the courts to decide if it's a laughing matter.

"What happened was my baby's father, Domonic, took a picture of my daughter and him sitting down with a BB gun and my mother, Sylvia Price, called the news and called the police saying my daughter was in danger, but she wasn't," Price said. "The gun was fake. It was a BB gun. It wasn't loaded or nothing. My daughter was in no kind of danger whatsoever and it got turned into something it wasn't supposed to be."

Upon hearing of Gaines' arrest, Price admitted she was angry.

"Anybody would be mad," she said. "Your daughter around a gun? I don't care if it's real or fake or not. Anybody would be mad."

Media attorney Monica Dias of Frost Brown Todd said it's not a crime to post a photo to Facebook, but it might pose problems for the person who uploads it and/or the people in the picture.

"If a photo ends up being evidence in a criminal case, you can expect to see that photo used against you as evidence of a crime," she said.

Dias said as more people use social media, they often forget to be careful.

"People are so quick to post things on Facebook or YouTube because there's this aspect of 'I want to communicate with as many people as I can in real time and show them what I'm doing this very minute,'" she added. "In a way, that has broken down our filters -- our self-restraint filters -- where we don't always think before we post and it can land you in hot water."

"Be cautious" is the advice Dias gives to clients.

"Think before you post," she said. "It's just common sense."

Price said that's a lesson Gaines won't likely forget.

"He'll learn his own mistakes," she said. "I guess he won't do it no more."

A father-of-two from Shropshire has been jailed for 10 months after making nearly 50,000 indecent child images, many in the most graphic category.

Adrian Pearce, of Hopkins Heath, Shawbirch, Telford, appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court for sentencing after admitting 10 charges of making around 48,760 images.

The court heard he had kept his obsession a ‘dark secret’ for more than a decade.

The court heard the 63-year-old had collected the images from the internet over a 10 to 15 year period.

Pearce admitted making about 47,290 photos and 380 videos at level one, the least graphic. He also admitted making about 40 photographs and five videos at level five, depicting the most graphic abuse.

Mr Robert James Edwards, prosecuting, said police were acting on intelligence when they carried out a search warrant at his property in September 2011. He told the court Pearce was later arrested and confessed to police he had been collecting indecent images for about 10 to 15 years.

Mr Dean Easthope, for Pearce, said his client had become obsessed with the images. He said: “He has distorted thinking. He became a recluse.”

Judge Robin Onions told Pearce: “On the outside you were a well-respected working man. But you kept a dark secret.”

Pearce was also barred from working with children for life.

Another case where Mom was working to support the family while Daddy played at "caretaker." And as so often happens, a short-tempered dude went off on the baby causing brain damage severe enough to put this infant into a coma and leave him blind. 

Daddy is identified as ARCHIE JERRELL ISOM.

Father Gets 20 Years in Prison for Severely Injuring Five-Month-Old

Archie Jerrell Isom of Lithia Springs received a 30-year sentence by Superior Court Judge David T. Emerson after entering a guilty plea to two counts of aggravated battery.

5:22 am

A 24-year-old father will spend 20 years in prison after being sentenced on child abuse charges for shaking his five-month-old son so hard that it caused brain swelling, bleeding of blood vessels in the eyes and blindness, according to Douglas County District Attorney David McDade in a press release.

As the mother drove towards the couple’s residence, an ambulance carrying her unconscious five-month-old son was rushing away from the apartment complex towards WellStar Douglas Hospital.

“A doctor immediately noted retinal hemorrhages on the baby, a key sign of a child who has been shaken,” said Smith. “Doctors knew the baby was seriously injured and had him life-flighted to Scottish-Rite, which likely saved his life.”

When the child arrived at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite Hospital, a team of doctors also determined the injuries were consistent with him being shaken.

Smith pointed out that Isom remained silent, even amongst the chaos and uncertainty. “The mother had to sit by the side of her five-month-old child, wondering if he was going to come out of his coma, and yet the defendant said nothing.”

Isom finally broke his silence, telling authorities the child fell off a bed while the defendant was washing dishes in another room. After doctors determined his story did not match up with his son’s injuries, Isom changed his story again. This time he told authorities he tripped over a cat while carrying the baby. The accident, according to Isom, caused the child to fall and bump his head on the ground. Doctors determined that story was not consistent with the physical injuries sustained by the baby.
