A grand jury has charged a Bronx day care worker with murder in connection with the death of a 20-month-old boy.
The Bronx DA announced the upgraded charges against 40-year-old Athena Skeeter on Thursday.
Skeeter was previously charged with manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child.
According to the Bronx DA, Skeeter admitted to throwing 20-month-old Cardell Williamson to the floor of her College Avenue apartment and stepping on his stomach.
The Bronx DA says she then admitted to putting him in a tub of water.
According to the criminal complaint, Skeeter said, “I step out of the bathroom to put the chair outside…I turned around and Cardell was slumped over with his head in the water and steam was coming out of the water.”
Williamson was later declared dead at a local hospital.
