A 31-year-old Delaware man whose 2-month-old daughter died while he and the childs mother were visiting another man in Monroe County, Pa., has admitted to killing the baby, authorities say. Lamont Bacchus, of New Castle, is now charged with homicide in the death of Reann M. Bacchus on April 19 in an apartment in Barrett Township, the county district attorneys office said.
Bacchus was sleeping on the couch with the baby in the apartment of Route 447 while Green and Kristiansen slept in the bedroom, authorities said. When Kristiansen woke up early the afternoon of April 19, the baby was dead and Bacchus was gone in search of heroin, authorities said. Green tried to revive the child but failed, authorities said. The two didnt dial 911 immediately, instead ... Kristiansen cleared the apartment of most of the drugs and they called police, authorities said.
Bacchus on April 9 told police the baby was crying early in the morning and out of frustration he slammed her head into a table and she stopped, police said. An autopsy determined the child suffered a gaping skull fracture on the left side of her head and died from traumatic brain injury in a homicide, the district attorneys office said.
