Residents of a Bronx building are in shock after a cruel crime that was perpetrated within their residence against two newborn baby boys that were murdered while still in the fetal position.
72-year-old Osvaldo Volquez recalls seeing one of the dead boys in a pool of blood at a patio behind his building that could not be reached from outside.
“I could see its little hands and feet,” Volquez said. “It is a terrible act of humanity…I don’t know who would do such a thing.”
The Monday incident that cost the twin babies’ lives left residents wondering who might have wrapped their children in paper and dump them to their death, instants following birth.
Tytiana Lomax, a tenant, told reporters that she knows no pregnant women at the building and that people there knew each other well.
Investigators said that the suspect is likely one of the residents because the scene was not accessible to passersby.
One of the infants had a wound while the other had a head injury and a blue string in his neck.
Police reviewed surveillance footage from the scene and asked anyone with relevant information to contact them.
