A 6-year-old Connecticut boy beaten by his stepfather with a baseball bat during a domestic dispute last week has died, Bridgeport police said Wednesday. Charges against 38-year-old Abdulrahim Sulaiman will be upgraded to include murder. Sulaiman is accused of beating Jathan Escobar, his 4-year-old brother and their 33-year-old mom on Sept. 25 in Bridgeport. The mother and the 4-year-old were released from the hospital on Tuesday after being critically wounded in the assault, according to NBC Connecticut. The victims’ family told the station on Tuesday they had made the difficult decision to take Jathan off life support in the coming days after he was declared brain dead as a result of the brutal attack. Sulaiman allegedly became outraged while accusing his wife of having an affair, according to local CBS affiliate WFSB. His wife told police he had recently been smoking PCP and was becoming violent. The suspect allegedly spat on and slapped court marshals at two of his three arraignments in recent days, netting him additional charges including assault of a public safety official and disorderly conduct, NBC Connecticut reported. Sulaiman is being held on $11 million bail and has been placed on suicide watch while awaiting an Oct. 10 hearing. Sulaiman had been married to the children’s mom for only a few months, according to WFSB. “I knew he was hitting her because she told me and I knew he threatened to kill her and the kids,” the children’s aunt claimed. Bridgeport Police Chief Roderick Porter addressed domestic violence during a Facebook chat on Monday. He encouraged citizens to help family members who may be facing violence at home without mentioning Sulaiman or his alleged victims by name. October is National Domestic Awareness Month.
