After making arrests in three unrelated homicides, police have released more information on the suspects - a father accused of fatally beating his baby son, a man accused of breaking his mother's neck, and a barber accused of killing a fellow barber in front of customers.

Clavond Gallot, 40, of the 2200 block of Edgley Street in North Philadelphia, has admitted he killed his son, Joshua, 11 months, according to police.

The father called 911 about 6:40 a.m. Saturday to report finding the boy unconscious.

The child, who had bruises to his head, was pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital at 7:01 a.m., police said.
