He added that he was “hearing voices” and that he did not know why he killed the boy. “I’m shaken,” he said.
Ponomarenko has his son’s name tattooed over his left eyebrow. In 2017, he had left the then-1-year-old in the middle of the road and attacked people.
“My mom dropped him off today. He was fine, he was vibrant, completely content, and all of a sudden, we get hit with all this.”
