Pennsylvania Mother Charged With Murder Of 11-Year-Old Son Then Fleeing To New Jersey
A mom stands accused of murdering her 11-year-old son in Horsham, Pa. then fleeing to the New Jersey shore.
The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office says 50-year-old Ruth DiRienzo-Whitehead is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Matthew Whitehead.
According to the affidavit, DiRienzo-Whitehead told detectives her son had been “crying off and on all day over the family’s financial difficulties.”
She allegedly told detectives she did not want her son to grow up “with these struggles” so she strangled him with her husband’s belt as he slept.
“Strangulation takes time. So this is a brutal murder of a little boy,” District Attorney Kevin Steele said at a news conference on Wednesday.
