DESTINY COX - 3 yo - Chenoa (E of Peoria) IL

Man faces 6 murder charges in baby death


David Gharret's bail has been set at $2 million

Authorities in McLean County say they’re investigating the area’s
first murder case of 2011. Twenty-three-year-old David Gharrett was
charged with six counts of murder this morning over the death of 3-year-old Destiny Cox.
“This is the type of case we never want because it involves a child.
It’s a senseless death and a tragedy,” said McLean County Sheriff Mike Emery.
Emery said Gharrett is the boyfriend of the girl’s mother. Police say
they responded to a call about an unresponsive child in rural Chenoa on
Thursday afternoon. The 3-year-old was life-flighted to OSF St.
Francis Medical Center in Peoria. She was pronounced dead on Friday.
An autopsy performed the following day indicated Cox died from blunt
force trauma to her abdomen and head. According to a probable cause
statement read in court, the suspect told police he “flew off the
handle” after the child threw up on herself. The statement also said he
admitted to throwing the victim in the tub.
Gharrett’s bond has been set at $2 million.

Another POS mother. Another POS boyfriend. Where was the mother of this baby? If she knew him well enough to screw him she should have known him well enough to know he had an explosive temper.

Was this the first time he abused Destiny? Probably not.

twinkletoes that is the most ignorant thing i have ever read

Well, it's not THE most ignorant thing I've read, but I think this statement from the perp trumps Twink's post(which wasn't ignorant at all):

"the suspect told police he “flew off the handle” after the child threw up on herself. The statement also said he admitted to throwing the victim in the tub."

Guess what else is ignorant? Guys like this that kill babies.

If you can enlighten us, please do, with facts. Thank you.

She probably threw up on herself after he punched her in the stomach.

You may have a point there, Twink.

He will get his in prison. Child killers don't live long in prison.
