Father arrested for behe@ding his 1-year-old son and causing injury to his wife and mother-in-law

A father has been arrested for allegedly behe@ding his 1-year-old son in California 

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) said in a press release shared on Facebook that Andrey Demskiy was arrested around 4:15 a.m. local time on Friday morning, Dec. 20, following a 911 call about a “family disturbance.” 

SCSO North Patrol deputies responded, and Demskiy, 28, was accused by his wife of assaulting her and her mother, police said. 

After Demskiy “refused to answer the door and surrender peacefully,” authorities learned that a toddler was alone in the residence with the man. 

They wrote that the father had “possibly injured the child after throwing him.” SCSO deputies then “forced entered” the home, they said. 

Once inside, police discovered the “uncooperative” and “physically resistive” Demskiy, as well as the sever£d he@d of a child in a bedroom. 

The Sheriff’s Child Abuse Bureau Detectives, as well as crime scene investigators, then arrived at the scene. 

According to authorities, Demskiy used a knife to “behe@d and murd£r” the one-year-old child. 

“Detectives arrested and booked him into the Sacramento County Main Jail, where he remains in custody ineligible for bail,” the SCSO wrote. 

According to his jail records, Demskiy has been charged with three felonies: assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, corporal injury to a spouse of cohabitant and murd£r. 

His next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 24. 

Per NBC affiliate KCRA, the child has since been identified by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office as Micha Demskiy. 

Loved ones have also identified the child via a GoFundMe campaign, which has since doubled its $25,000 goal with over $57,000 in donations to support the boy’s family as of Sunday, Dec. 22. 

The fundraiser identified the child’s mother as Angelina Demskiy. 

Following Demskiy’s arrest, his mother-in-law was “transported to the hospital by ambulance for her injuries, which were not life-threatening,” according to the SCSO.
