STRUTHERS, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio man has been arrested and charged in the slaying of his ex-girlfriend's 13-year-old son.
Police said 43-year-old Zaryl Bush of Struthers was arrested Tuesday, following the weekend death of the boy at a hospital. Authorities say they plan to file more charges on top of first-degree murder.
The (Youngstown) Vindicator (http://bit.ly/XhGNXd ) said the investigation began last week when the boy suffered head injuries and frostbite on his feet. Police, who said they were tipped off by a relative, are waiting on autopsy reports to determine what exactly led to his death.
The boy's mother — who has not cooperated with the investigation — hasn't been charged. The county children's services agency took custody of her other children.
Jail records did not say if Bush had an attorney.
