A Cincinnati mother has been indicted on a murder charge in the death of her 19 year old son, Dominic, who was reported missing in September, according to Hamilton County authorities.
Kenya, 39, was indicted by a grand jury on one count of murder and one count of felonious assault, PEOPLE reported. Authorities say Dominic’s remains were found in December inside the Fenton Avenue apartment where she lived with her boyfriend, Robert, 35. Officials said the remains had been covered with clothing.
Dominic’s father, Marcus, told Fox19 that a friend of his son said he had not seen Dominic since September 24. According to the father, the mother waited ten days to contact police. Marcus told WCPO that she said she had not filed a report because she thought he would. Authorities later asked the public for help locating the teen.
Both Kenya and Robert were arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse in December. Robert is also accused of helping hide the body. Authorities have not said how Dominic died.
“He loved helping everybody,” his father said. “He was a happy child. I am proud to be his father.” He told WCPO, “My whole world has changed. I’m hurt.”
The charges are allegations, and the case is ongoing. Our thoughts are with Dominic’s family.
