A Kansas woman, Heather Jonas was on Monday sentenced to 25
years in prison for the murder of her 7-year-old stepson, Adrian Jones whose remains
were fed to pigs. The boy’s remains were found in the family’s pigpen in Kansas
City, Kansas, in November 2015.
The boy was said to have been physically and emotionally
abused and starved to death, the Star reports.
She pleaded guilty to a charge of first-degree murder and
two counts of child abuse in the death of Adrian on October 6.
The boy’s father, Michael Jones, 45, was charged with
first-degree murder, child abuse, aggravated battery and aggravated assault.
His trial is scheduled for Feb. 6, 2017.
Police were first called to the rental home for a domestic
disturbance call, according to the Kansas City Star. Once
there, police discovered that Adrian had been missing for several months and was
possibly a murder victim.
The police came back the following day and found human
remains in the barn, which were later identified as Adrian’s, the Star reports.
“He was horribly abused, neglected and ultimately killed. I’m
sure his suffering was unbearable,” the Attorney said.
At the hearing, Heather apologized for Adrian’s death. “I
have to live with this for the rest of my life,” she said, according to the
paper.
