Damari Perry: Mother, brother face new charges in gruesome murder of 6-year-old Chicago boy
Fox News
Chicago authorities on Wednesday formally charged the mother and brother of deceased 6-year-old Damari Perry with murder.
Jannie M. Perry, 38, and Jeremiah Perry, 20, each face charges of first-degree murder and are being held on $5 million and $3 million bond, respectively.
"As prosecutors considered the crime scene where Damari died, it became clear that this was a calculated plan against a small child," Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart said in a Wednesday statement. "Damari’s final minutes warrant the sentencing enhancements that accompany such ‘brutal and heinous’ circumstances."
The pair also face charges of aggravated battery of a child, dismembering a human body, conspiracy, aggravated domestic battery, concealment of a homicidal death, endangering the life or health of a child, abuse of a corpse and obstructing justice. Jannie Perry also faces one count of failure to report the death or disappearance of a child under 13 years old.
