Dad with history of DV arrested for killing 2-year-old son; toddler apparently used "bad word" (Phoenix, Arizona)

Dad LUIS SANCHEZ says he "snappped" and killed his 2-year-old son for using a "bad word." No big surprise that Daddy has a history of domestic violence.....Notice that Daddy was either babysitting or a "stay-at-home" (i.e. deadbeat) dad, as Mom was working. Also notice that this POS didn't call 911 but  E-MAILED Mom.

PHOENIX - Police arrest a Phoenix father for the murder of his own 2-year-old son. The arrest comes almost six months after the initial crime, which at first appeared to be an accident.

Fox 10’s Andrew Hasbun talked with the victim's mom and has more on why it took so long for police to make an arrest.

The father's initial story was that the 2-year-old fell down the stairs. But after an autopsy and a thorough investigation, detectives felt the story didn't add up.

They re-interviewed the father on Friday, and it appears that he confessed.

Police said Saul Sanchez used a bad word, and his father, Luis Sanchez, snapped, hitting him several times in the back when he was on the bed.

Luis said that he blacked out, and when he came to, he said his son was not breathing.

But the 30-year-old father didn't immediately call 911. Instead, police say he emailed the boy's mom from their home, near 48th Street and Broadway. She was at work.

He waited for her phone call, which came 45 minutes later, before calling for help.

For the past six months, the child's mom has waited for the truth.

“I just don't know why he was hiding the truth,” said Lucia Rodarte.

Rodarte was devastated when she learned what happened to her 2-year-old son.
Police said Luis also has a history of domestic violence in California and was violating his probation by living in Arizona.
