Police in Dallas have shared new details about the mysterious death of Indian toddler Sherin Mathews, alleging that her Indian-American foster father Wesley bundled her “stiff and cold” body in the back of his car with a bag of trash and hid her corpse in a tunnel.
New details surrounding the death emerged on Tuesday during the custody hearing of Wesley and Sini Mathews’ three-year-old biological daughter, who was taken away by U.S. Child Protection Services after Sherin’s disappearance.
Richardson police detective Jules Farmer testified that Wesley, 37, told them that Sherin died choking on milk that he forced her to drink.
Wesley also admitted to moving her body from the home.
The judge later denied the couple access to their biological daughter, now living with relatives in Houston.
