New London police say the mother and aunt of a 13-year-old assault victim join 10 juveniles being charged with organizing and executing the assault.
Police said they started investigating the assault when they received video circulating on social media back on April 30 showing a juvenile girl being assaulted by a family member and the victim’s boyfriend.
The victim’s aunt- Keosha Muriel, 29- and a group of ten juveniles were seen on video either assaulting the victim or observing the assault “over an extended period of time.”
Police said the victim’s mother- Idinah Muriel, 32- was also on scene and was found to have been involved in its planning.
Ten juveniles spanning the age of 12 to 15 were summoned to appear in juvenile court, according to police.
The juveniles face a variety of charges, including risk of injury to a minor, first-degree unlawful restraint, fourth-degree sexual assault, second-degree strangulation, and more.
The aunt, Keosha Muriel, was charged with cruelty to persons, risk of injury, third-degree assault, second-degree breach of peace, first-degree unlawful restraint, and second-degree reckless endangerment.
The mother, Idinah Muriel, was charged with cruelty to persons, risk of injury, second-degree reckless endangerment, conspiracy of assault, second-degree conspiracy of BOP, and first-degree conspiracy of unlawful restraint.
The court needs to put the fear of God into these juveniles.
They are going to start shitting out children they will probably end up abusing and torturing like this.
