Denise Stinson and Mark Newberry questioned in death of 32-month-old

[Dakota Valkyrie]

A mother and her boyfriend were arrested early this morning, Wednesday, June 10, following the death of her 32-month-old son Tuesday night.

Denise F. Stinson, 23, and boyfriend Mark A. Newberry, 45, were arrested at about 2:15 a.m. Wednesday, according to police reports.

“Inconsistencies” in what the mother and a male at the residence told police and what medics found triggered the investigation, Dayton Lt. John Bardun said.

Montgomery County Children Services has “a history” with the boy and the family, Bardun said. He was not more specific in what he meant.

Stinson and Newberry, who police believe is not the child’s biological father, were taken to police headquarters downtown for questioning, Bardun said.

A police sergeant at Children’s Medical Center of Dayton requested additional officers to help take the suspects downtown.

“Parents like to hold the child after the death, and we couldn’t permit that in this case,” Bardun said.

Police and medics dispatched to the address at 7:55 p.m. found the child “in full arrest,” he said.

The child was pronounced dead at the hospital approximately 40 minutes later, he said, noting that medical officials there also notified police about suspicious aspects of the death.

“We don’t know what caused the death, but there are very suspicious things,” Bardun said, summing up the preliminary investigation by homicide detectives and a coroner’s investigator who were sent to the address in the wake of the death.

The child was not shot or stabbed, Bardun said, and there were no marks on the body to indicate asphyxiation.

A 5-month-old child who also belonged to the mother and was with her when police took her for questioning is now in the care of children services.

The mother of a 2-year-old boy who died last week after suffering significant trauma to his midsection said she doesn’t hold herself or her boyfriend responsible for the toddler’s death.

Denise Stinson and roughly 30 others gathered on Wednesday, June 17, for a prayer vigil and memorial for her son, Malechi D. Wilson.
[...]

“I don’t know if it was an accident or what it is I can’t say,” Stinson said. “I am just trying to do my best to get through this.”

Malechi’s death was ruled a homicide caused by blunt-force trauma to the abdomen, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office. Coroner James Davis said he does not plan to change his ruling.

Police initially charged the couple with child endangering because they did not immediately seek medical attention for Malechi, who was in “obvious physical distress for a number of hours,” Lt. Patrick Welsh said.

County prosecutors would not approve charges related to Malechi’s death so Stinson and Newberry were released from jail on June 11. Prosecutors have instructed police to continue the investigation.

“I do not hold Mark responsible,” Stinson said through tears Wednesday. “I have talked to him (since Malechi’s death) and he is in the same condition I am. I can’t say what happened because I don’t know what happened.”

Malechi had been in foster care for less than a year before he was returned to Stinson in April, according to Montgomery County Children Services.

The department began a file on Stinson and Malechi in October 2007, and shortly after that, Wilson was placed in foster care, agency spokeswoman Ann Stevens said.

Stinson declined Wednesday to address issues related to Malechi’s foster care.

Welsh said detectives are still investigating Malechi’s death and expect to meet with prosecutors again to get charges filed against whomever caused the toddler’s death.

“I do not hold Mark responsible,” Stinson said through tears Wednesday. “I have talked to him (since Malechi’s death) and he is in the same condition I am. I can’t say what happened because I don’t know what happened.”

Well, if he's not responsible then she is. A little one does not get "blunt force trauma" to his midsection by his self. Aw hell, another woman standing by the penis who killed her baby. Sickening.

He had such a sweet little face. God bless you tiny one.

[mysticviewer]

He looks meaner than a snake. Wonder if the baby was in her arms when he was giving her that black eye? RIP little one.

A Dayton man who ran for city and county commission seats, is now facing criminal charges in connection with a child's death.

Homicide detectives arrested Mark Newberry on Friday afternoon, just three months after the death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son.

The coroner said the boy died of a blow to the stomach.

While being led into the Dayton Safety Building, Newberry said, "I"m an innocent man right now. Who injured the child? I don't know. I know one damn thing, I'm innocent," said Newberry.

The boy's mother, Denise Stinson, was arrested too. She made the frantic call to 911 last June. In her call, Stinson said her son, Maleki, was suffering from an asthma attack or a seizure.

Several hours after the call, police arrested Stinson and Newberry, but they were released.

However, after several months of investigating, police have charged Newberry and Stinson with felony child endangering. Police said both shared in the responsibility of taking care of the child.

Both Stinson, 23, and Newberry, 45, were arrested immediately after Malechi’s death but were released two days later when prosecutors did not approve charges and told detectives to do more investigating.

The couple has not cooperated with police during the nearly five-month investigation, said White, who called their arrests “a major step” for the police department.

“We have suspected for some time they had knowledge or were involved in injuries that were inflicted on little Malechi Wilson,” he said.

Montgomery County Coroner Dr. James Davis said at the time of the incident Malechi was “tortured” and “suffered for hours,” from significant blows to his body.

Davis, who ruled Malechi’s cause of death blunt force trauma to the abdomen, said the child was beaten so badly some of his internal organs ruptured.

Newberry is not Malechi’s biological father, police said. The couple does have another 10-month-old child together that has been placed into foster care, White said.

While murder charges have not been filed in the case, White said more charges could be filed in the case against Stinson or Newberry.

What the holy hell!?!?!

DAYTON, Ohio -- A Dayton mother and her former boyfriend will be getting out of jail, after being arrested last week in connection with the death of her young son.

A Montgomery County Grand Jury returned no indictments against Denise Stinson, 23, and Mark Newberry, 45, a former candidate for the Dayton City Commission.

The pair had been arrested in connection with the death of her 2-year-old Malechi Wilson.

The coroner's office said the child died from blunt force trauma to the abdomen last June. Officials said he was beaten so badly that some of his organs ruptured.

Because the Grand Jury declined to indict them, Stinson and Newberry could be released from jail and all charges, at anytime.

Davis, who ruled Malechi’s cause of death blunt force trauma to the abdomen, said the child was beaten so badly some of his internal organs ruptured.

Malechi suffered for hours before this woman called 911. I really do think she is protecting this pieceofshit bastard, baby beater....he looks like a mean SOB. Baby Malechi got caught in the middle maybe even coming to mama and was hit, or god forbid, she used him as a shield.

One thing I know is they both know what happened and are not fessing up, protecting one another. THEY MAKE ME SICK. Both have putrid, vile souls and should suffer. How could a mother allow her baby to suffer so? HOW???

I would not hesitate in breaking this woman down for choosing this monster over her child. It matters not if she was scared of him, at the end she should have protected her child.

Malechi, you were the light of life. You should have been protected and cherished. So sorry sweet one, rest in the heavens.

[mommacrazy30]

i love a conspiracy.

“I do not hold Mark responsible,” Stinson said through tears Wednesday. “I have talked to him (since Malechi’s death) and he is in the same condition I am. I can’t say what happened because I don’t know what happened.”

"I"m an innocent man right now. Who injured the child? I don't know. I know one damn thing, I'm innocent," said Newberry.

watch out for that random baby-beater y'all.

[claddaghgirl]

I"m an innocent man right now

Sooo, what? He plans on NOT being innocent in the future?
Both of them are guilty. Him probably of killing Malachi and her of not protecting her child.

[ineedanap]

How a grand jury can have a dead kid with ruptured organs and NOT indite either of his caregivers boggles my mind. WTF???

Malechi and his little brother Maurice

from Denise Stinson's 'biological' sister, Kresha Prater.
http://www.myspace.com/kreda

Poor little guy looks pretty zoned out, as if feeding his little brother is a chore he must complete. Dammit Denise, why did you fail at parenting sweet little Malechi?!

[badfish76]

Kre Kre was adopted. I wonder if Denise was too or if she is fucked up from a bad home life?

No excuse for killing that sweet baby but it might explain how she got where she is.

[Nell]

My boyfriend was adopted. That is a lame excuse for anything, much less baby killing.

[badfish76]

I'm adopted too. I am not saying it is an excuse for Denise because there is NO excuse.

What I am wondering is what her home life was like if she WASN'T adopted.

I have no idea if her sister was given up or taken away based on what the Myspace says. All it says is she was adopted and she has pics in an album labeled "My Bio Family" and there are pictures of she and Denise together with their mother.

[wintersfootsteps]

Good Hell, if they are so innocent why didn't they cooperate with the investigation?

Why hide if you have nothing to hide?

A child doesn't just get random blows to the abdomen and then die with ruptured organs. No. Let's not forget the fact that she didn't call for help immediately after she noticed her son was in distress. She didn't call for help because she knew she would be implicated in what happened. Period.

If she truly had no idea what happened (my whole post/rant is under the assumption that she was telling the truth there... Just using this theory as a hypothetical thing), and then looked at the evidence, it would point directly to her boyfriend because he was another caretaker. I would have turned on that asshole so fast he wouldn't have known what hit him. As a matter of fact, I would probably be in prison because I would have killed the son of a bitch.

She is covering something up. Whether its her involvement or her boyfriend's involvement.

Her son deserved so much better... and instead of trying to hold the person responsible she sits back in denial (if she is telling the truth about being in the dark about the events leading to her son's death).

F*ck woman. Do something. You can't bring your son back, but you can help the person responsible get justice.

But no. She would rather live in a fantasy world. Give me a break.

For those reasons (among others) I believe she did know what happened. She knows she has to keep her mouth shut or she will be punished.

I would *LOVE* to know the story behind that black eye.

Sorry Malechi, you didn't deserve this.

[silvahalo68]

Rest in the heavens Malechi....baby brother Maurice misses you.

What a beautiful little boy.

So much possibility before him. He could have been president, discovered the cure for cancer. Now he won't get that chance because his caretakers (I don't want to use the word parent) are completely worthless.

Stories like this make my blood pressure rise. I get so mad. So many people out there would like to have kids but they can't for one reason or another. This woman was blessed with children and she couldn't even bring herself to help them when needed.

Disgusting.

[vipjohnson]

I am adopted and have a hard time killing a roach, let alone a defenseless toddler.

RIP Malechi

[ineedanap]

I am not adopted. As a child, I used to cut roaches up with scissors. My mom threatened to make me eat one if I didn't stop. Eh, roaches, I'll kill 'em in a heartbeat. Babies, not so much.
