A 2-year-old Alaska boy has been killed by his guardians, Steven Melovidov Jr. and Sophie Myers-Melovidov, who also attempted to mislead investigators, authorities said.
Earlier this month, the toddler, Joshua Rukovishnikoff, was medevaced from St. Paul Island to Anchorage with a serious head injury, according to state troopers.
The boy died at an Anchorage hospital, and an autopsy was conducted.
"Both of the suspects made statements to investigators that proved to be false after further investigation," said Alaska State Troopers spokesperson Austin McDaniel.
