Test Confirms Family Link In Turlock Infant Death

TURLOCK (CBS/AP) ― A DNA analysis of the 2-year-old boy who was fatally beaten last Saturday in Turlock confirms that he was the son of the attacker, 27-year-old Sergio Casian Aguiar of Turlock.

Police fatally shot Aguiar Saturday night as he kicked, punched and stomped the young toddler to death in front of horrified motorists who tried to stop the attack on a dark country road, authorities said.

The infant was rushed to a Turlock medical center, but was pronounced dead. Authorities say the injuries to the baby were so severe they needed to verify the infant's identity through a blood or DNA test. That test, conducted by Stanislaus County Coroner, revealed today that they boy is Axel Casian, the biological son of Sergio Casian Aguiar.

The coroners report also ruled the preliminary cause of death to the infant as blunt force trauma.
