US soldier beats his 2 year old daughter to death
20 year old Texas soldier, Dartarious Graham,
(pictured centre) has been charged with capital
murder after his 2 year old daughter Peyton was
found unresponsive with ‘suspicious’ injuries in
his home in Fort Bliss, Texas. According to police,
the young father beat his 2-year-old daughter to
death after he became upset that she had soiled
her diaper.
They also arrested Graham’s cousin Robert
Franklin, 19 (pictured left), for witnessing the
attack and not doing anything to help the little
girl. The child’s mother Elizabeth Graham, 23
(pictured right) was charged with injury to a child
by omission for no protecting the child and failing
to report the abuse which had been constant
before the fatal beating…
According to reports, Graham, who is a US army
specialist, became very angry after his daughter
soiled her diaper. He then took her to his room
where he beat her for several minutes with a belt.
According to police, his cousin Franklin saw him
take the child to his room, looked through the
door and saw Graham beating the little girl but
did nothing to stop him. He reportedly walked
back to the sitting room to watch TV.
Franklin later told police that Graham continued
to attack the girl until she became limp. They
called 911 in panic and Peyton was transported to
El Paso Children’s Hospital, where she was
pronounced dead an hour later.
The police learned the father had a history of
beating the child and nobody ever did anything to
protect her. All three are being held in El Paso
County jail. Dartarious Graham could face the
death penalty or life without parole if convicted.
