Two arrests have been made in the case of three abandoned children and the skeletal remains of a 9 year old boy.
Harris County Sheriffs arrested and charged the mother of the children, Gloria Williams, 35, with injury to a child by omission and tampering with evidence. The mother’s boyfriend, Brian Coulter, 31, has been charged with murder.
According to a medical examiner, the 9 year old’s death was ruled a homicide by multiple blunt force injuries. The little boy’s skeletal remains were discovered on Sunday after the older 15 year old brother called 911. Officers found the deceased boy who had been in the apartment for an extended amount of time, with his 3 brothers. Three boys ages 15, 10, and 7 were found abandoned in the apartment- living with their brother’s corpse.
The three boys were transported to a hospital to be assessed and treated. They appeared to be malnourished and have physical injuries. More charges are expected to be filed for the mother and boyfriend.
