The twelve-year-old is alleged to have been beaten by his father with an electrical cable and a leather belt. The man allegedly sought to punish the boy for disregarding an instruction. The suspect is also said to have threatened his son's life. When the older brother, aged seventeen, attempted to intervene, the father allegedly attacked him as well.
During the investigation, it emerged that the abuse may have been occurring for several years. According to the report, the younger boy bore bruises and bleeding across his entire body.
The man must now face criminal charges. The presumption of innocence applies until a final conviction.
