Why has Brian Coulter been arrested?
He has been detained in connection with the death of William’s eight year old son.
The Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the unnamed child suffered multiple blunt force injuries, resulting in his death by homicide.
According to a report from the victim’s 15-year-old brother, he and his two surviving siblings had been living with his decomposing body in their apartment in Houston for a year.
One of the surviving siblings, a 15-year-old, called the sheriff’s department Sunday and told authorities his brother had been dead for a year and the body was inside the apartment, according to the law enforcement agency.
Deputies found the teen and two other siblings, ages 10 and 7, living alone in the apartment, police said.
The 15-year-old told authorities his parents had not lived in the apartment for several months.
It appeared that the surviving children were fending for each other, with the oldest sibling caring for the younger two.
Their apartment didn’t have any power, and a neighbor had helped the children by charging a cellphone for them and buying them food, police said.
The younger children appeared to be malnourished and had physical injuries, according to the sheriff’s office.
All three siblings were taken to a hospital and assessed and treated.
The children last attended school in May 2020, said Craig Eichhorn, a spokesman for the Alief school district.
They didn’t return for the 2020-2021 school year, and school officials attempted an unsuccessful home visit in September 2020.
