Child ‘a victim of extreme lack of care’

The evidence in the case against a couple charged with murdering their son is “horrendous” and “gut-wrenching”, a US prosecutor has said.

Ryan Patrick O'Leary, 30, and Sheila O'Leary, 35, have also been charged with aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child due to neglect, child abuse and two counts of child neglect.
