MCKINNEY — A North Texas man who told a 911 dispatcher that he ignored “voices in his head” that tried to stop him from killing his toddler son is going to prison for the death.

The Dallas Morning News reports 35-year-old Toby Kristopher Payne of Allen pleaded guilty to murder and received a 36-year prison term.

Payne had been charged with capital murder over the April 2009 death of 2-year-old Sean Payne. The plea agreement was reached Friday in court in McKinney.

An affidavit indicates that the father, as emergency personnel tried to save his son, told one of the officers he had strangled the child.

Defense attorney Juan Carlos Sanchez says Payne has mental health issues.
