An Ohio man was charged last week with murder in the death of his girlfriend’s 5-month-old daughter.
Glenn McIntosh, 32, had been dating Ameira Reynolds’ mother for about three months on October 13, when the mother left the baby alone with him while she went out with her other children for about an hour, the Columbus Dispatch reported. When the mother returned, she told police that McIntosh abruptly left.
The mother checked on her infant daughter and initially thought she was sleeping but soon found her to be limp and unresponsive. The baby girl was rushed to a hospital, where staff found she had multiple skull fractures they said were consistent with “severe blunt force trauma.”
The baby died later that day, Assistant Franklin County Prosecutor Shania Goble said during McIntosh’s court hearing last week.
The baby girl’s mother “frantically texted McIntosh for answers, Goble said, and eventually he answered that the infant had fallen.
“You asked me to trust you and I trusted you with my baby, and you took her from me,” Ameira’s mother wrote in a statement read during the hearing. “You killed my baby girl. My baby didn’t deserve that. I can’t imagine what you put her through.”
McIntosh has been charged with murder and ordered held on a $2 million bond.
