A Utah babysitter has admitted to slamming an infant’s head into the metal wall of an elevator killing her.
Zachary Walton, 28, admitted that he grew frustrated with the baby’s crying after her mother asked him to watch her as she worked in food delivery last weekend.
Walton described becoming “8 out of 10” frustrated with the child, handing her to his minor stepdaughter before taking her to the roof so he could vape.
While in the elevator, he told cops he “smashed her head into the metal corner of the elevator where it curves to the sliding doors.”
“How do I get her to shut up?” Walton reportedly asked himself before slamming the infant’s head against the elevator once again.
“Zachary stated the four-month-old stopped crying and looked at him. Zachary said he thought to himself, ‘What have I done?’” police said.
The baby died of skull fractures on both sides of the head and a brain bleed.
Walton was arrested on several charges including murder and child abuse.
