MILWAUKEE, WI (WHBL) – Investigators say a 12-year-old and an eight-year-old suffered a 90-minute beating at the hands of their grandfather because he thought they took some money from him.
Prosecutors in Milwaukee on Tuesday filed formal charges against 53-year-old Andrez Martina. They say he beat the 12-year-old to death and injured the eight-year-old. The charges say Martina used a sledgehammer, a belt, and a coat rack to beat the boys for an hour-and-a-half.
Family members say the boys’ disabled mother watched the beatings but couldn’t do anything about them.
This is not Martina’s first brush with trouble. He was convicted of first-degree reckless homicide in 1990.
