Arrest Made for Battery on 3-Month-Old
On September 1st , Evansville Police Officers were requested at Deaconess Gateway ER for a battery report on a 3-month-old. The reporter stated her child was returned home by the child’s father, Ali S. Murray (22), due to him having the child overnight and not being able to get the child to fall asleep. When the child was returned, the reporter could smell urine and immediately changed the child’s diaper. While doing this, she noticed numerous bruises on the baby. The reporter called Murray and stated he didn’t recall seeing any bruising. The reporter called family and immediately took the child to Deaconess Gateway.
At the hospital, medical staff conducted tests and x-rays revealing the child had multiple brain bleeds, fractures to his skull, both legs and right arm. The child had a busted lip, bruising to the gums, forehead, neck, and stomach area. The child was then life lighted for more extensive medical treatment.
Officers and Detectives then went to the residence of Murray and his girlfriend; both were transported to EPD headquarters to be interviewed. They both explained their time with the child throughout the evening. Murray was observed grabbing the child by the chest/stomach area palming the child’s body as he picked him up, and it sounded as if when the child was put in a swing it sounded harder than usual. It was stated that Murray also laid a towel down in the bathroom and left the child on it; Murray left the room to remove himself from the child crying. At one point Murray told his girlfriend “Now you are the number one suspect, not me, due to her messaging the child’s mother about what she believed to be a ‘sore’ on the child’s lip, which was determined to be a busted lip. When Detectives explained the extent of the child’s injuries to Murray he didn’t say much, showed little emotion and never asked about the condition of his child.
As a result of the interviews and evidence, Murray was arrested for Battery on a Victim Less than 14 Years Old, a level 3 felony. He was booked into the Vanderbur
