Pregnant Tennessee woman miscarries after brutal beating
Robert Joseph Cayald, 22, joined his four cousins in the clink Wednesday after authorities said he had a part in the six-hour stomach beating that resulted in the year-old delivering a stillborn in the bathroom of her family's suburban Dallas home, WFAA reported. The unidentified victim was at least eight-months pregnant in March when her cousins allegedly pinned her to the living room floor of a Pleasant Grove, Tex. The foursome then burned the fetus in a charcoal grill before tossing its remains in a green plastic bag and disposing of it, according to the arrest affidavit. All five suspects were booked into Dallas County Jail. The victim, who is now 16, said she was sexually assaulted by a family member in August , The Dallas Morning News reported.
