Police: Suspect Left 10-Month-Old Baby Inside Trunk, Stuffed Inside Backpack

 

LUBBOCK, TX — Trevor Rowe has been charged with capital murder after police say he caused the death of his girlfriend's 10-month-old baby.

According to KTXS, the arrest warrant states Rowe took the child to his job site and stuffed her into a backpack. He left the backpack on the floorboard of the vehicle. When he returned to check on her, she had gotten out of the backpack, so Rowe stuffed her back inside.

At lunchtime, he checked on her again and the baby was still breathing, but she was crying. Rowe then zipped up the backpack before leaving to go get fast food. After lunch, he moved the backpack that contained the baby into his trunk. The child was left in the trunk for more than five hours.

Just before 5:00 p.m. Rowe called the police and told them the baby wasn’t breathing. He told police he tried to perform CPR before paramedics arrived.

Rowe is being held on a $2 million bond.

They should bring back public hangings. Not the kind using a gallows but, the kind where they just hoist you up and wait for the jerking and gagging to stop.

I couldn't agree more. Although a good old drawing and quartering would serve this reprehensible piece of human waste quite well. For that matter just drop him into a boiling vat of tar. This is not a human. He is a demon that deserves the very worst form of torture imaginable and I would be more than happy to assist in any way possible.

....agreed 100%....people say the prison system is to rehab and "fix" someone.....but there is absolutely no way to fix this, other than putting down like a rabid skunk, with a shot to the face.....or just to repay the pain that baby went through, but to burn it alive, tbh.......
