HUBBY SHOT BABY SON AFTER WIFE REFUSED SEX

-

A DRUNK dad shot his baby dead after his wife refused to SHAG him.

Maycon Salustiano Silva, 25, had been drinking heavily and smoking weed before turning the gun on his six-month-old son.

He had been arguing with his wife, Jeniffer, 20, at their home in Luziania, Brazil.

After she refused to sleep with him, he reached for the pistol that was tucked down the back of a sofa.

Salustiano, who had no criminal record, said he “didn’t remember what happened” after his drug and drink binge.

The baby, called Michel, was pronounced dead in hospital two hours after the incident.

Det Daniel Martins Ferreira said: “We believe the suspect, in a moment of rage when he didn’t get what he wanted, shot the child at point blank range by resting the gun on the baby’s chest as he lay in the cot in his parent’s bedroom.

“The mother reported that her husband woke her up and wanted to have sex with her.

“She said she was IN HAPPIER TIMES: Jeniffer and Maycon tired and ‘did not want to’. He became irritated and physically assaulted her in the argument that followed.”

In the midst of the quarrel, it’s claimed the dad went to get some water but came back with the gun which he pointed at his wife.

Salustiano has been charged with manslaught­er and the illegal possession of a weapon.

He is also accused of domestic violence.

The mum was quizzed by police and freed on the grounds she was not involved in the crime.
