Police officials said the 30-year-old dad, later identified as Joseph, was taken into custody and later charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child more than two years after the death of his daughter Iris.
The father reportedly stuffed a wet wipe deep down the baby girl’s throat only to then try blaming the infant’s toddler sister. Investigators later revealed that the father was the only person present in the house who could have shoved the napkin so far down the youngster’s throat, minutes after he was allegedly overheard by a relative yelling at the baby.
