Arizona man found guilty of murdering his 6-year-old son who he starved to death by keeping him locked away in a closet.
Anthony Martinez, 28, was found guilty of first-degree murder after his son Deshaun Martinez was found unresponsive, weighing just 18 pounds.
When Deshaun was 4, he weighed 34 pounds, almost double the amount he was when he died.
Police say Martinez would keep his two sons locked in a closet for 16 hours a day.
Martinez, the boy’s mother, Elizabeth Archibeque, and grandmother, Ann Martinez, were all charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and child abuse.
Elizabeth Archibeque was sentenced to life in prison last year.
