DENVER - A Colorado couple says their babysitter's boyfriend killed their son while the scared babysitter locked herself in the bathroom of the family's rented vacation home in Sayulita, Mexico.
The Spanish-language newspaper Vallarta Opina reported doctors at the nearby San Francisco Hospital had found the child also showed signs of beating and sexual abuse.
The Charrette family, of Ridgway, Colo., released this statement to ABC News about the death of their 2-year-old son, Axel:
"What you are about to read will be difficult to hear ? and trust us, it's unimaginable to experience and to tell. As you know we were in Mexico. Through our Canadian landlord we had hired a woman and her daughter to help around the house.
"On February 28th, the daughter, our babysitter, let her boyfriend into the walled property. She soon realized he was in a violent, drug-induced state. Out of fear, she locked herself in a bathroom, leaving Axel outside. Kalden was inside playing games.
"The boyfriend, for reasons unknown, hurt Axel, then threw him in the pool, leaving him to drown. The babysitter was arrested, eventually told the police what happened, and the boyfriend was subsequently arrested. They now face federal murder charges in Mexico City.
"Our contact at the State Department informs us that our case is Mexico's number one priority right now. There are no words to express our grief? --? but we wanted you to know what happened because the truth, as horrible as it may be, is important. Thank you for all your support and everything you have done and continue to do."
The Guadalajara Reporter identified the babysitter as Nancy Solorio, and reported that she told the state police that her ex-boyfriend was known as Carlos or "El Cholo."
The newspaper also reported the man was identified by the Nayarit Attorney General?s Office as Eleodoro Carlos Rodriguez Sanchez or Carlos Roberto Tapia Sanchez, 30, a Guerrero native who was living in Sayulita.
The Vallarta Opina also reported the same names.
Sayulita is about 25 miles northwest of Puerto Vallarta.
