A California
man Aramazd Andressian, has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for
killing his 5-year-old son just to get back at his wife.
Investigators
said Andressian admitted killing his son which necessitated his estranged wife
damning him to hell during the hearing Los Angeles County Superior Court.
“I hope you
relive the image of murdering my baby every day of your insignificant life,”
Ana Estevez said. “May your dark soul burn in eternal hell.”
She also
called her husband a failure as a father, a man and a human being.
“There is no
real pain, just an incomprehensible deadness. Like my son, I, too, have died,”
she said.
Andressian,
Sr., 35, pleaded guilty earlier this month in Los Angeles County Superior Court
to first-degree murder in the April death of his son, Aramazd Andressian, Jr.,
after a family trip to Disneyland.
Andressian
pleaded guilty partly to avoid the possibility of prosecutors adding a charge
that could result in the death penalty, his attorney has said.
The father
did not speak during sentencing in the suburban Alhambra branch court, Fox 11
reported.
Sheriff’s
investigators said the boy apparently was killed on April 21. His father was
found passed out in a park the next morning, sparking an intensive search for
the boy.
Andressian
had taken prescription pills and was found in a car doused in gasoline in an
apparent suicide attempt, sheriff’s officials have said.
Investigators
searched for more than two months before they found the boy’s body on June 30
near Lake Cachuma outside Santa Barbara, about 145 miles away from Anaheim,
where Disneyland is located.
Prosecutors
have not revealed how the boy was killed but said the evidence against
Andressian is overwhelming and the killing was planned and deliberate.
Andressian’s
attorney, Ambrosio Rodriguez, repeatedly has declined to comment when asked why
Andressian killed his son but has said the killing was “not planned.”
Rodriguez
has said his client told investigators where to find his son’s remains and
regrets killing the boy.
A report by
the county Department of Children and Family Services, obtained by The
Associated Press, showed that the boy’s skeletal remains were found in a wooded
area in Santa Ynez.
The report
described the boy as being the victim of “physical and severe neglect.”
