Agents investigating a case of child sexual abuse in Texas discovered the remains of a baby buried in the backyard of a house.
Officers in Lubbock were investigating allegations that a child had been sexually abused for a period of 5 years. When they went to a house this Tuesday as part of the investigation, they came across the remains of the child, whose age has not been revealed.
Police went to the house after obtaining a search warrant on charges of aggravated sexual abuse.
The suspect of the facts would have committed suicide with a gunshot, KLBK reported. It was as a result of this incident and an emergency call that the authorities went to the scene.
The identities of the perpetrator and the dead child have not been disclosed. The connection between the two is also unclear.
The suspect’s body was found in a different residence from where the baby’s remains were found.
