Police arrested a man for allegedly suffocating his quadriplegic girlfriend in their Brooklyn apartment over the weekend.
Police say the couple's 2-year-old son was in the house when police found the body of Melissa Torres in a bathtub Sunday morning.
Angelo Sanchez, 41, was charged with murder and endangering the welfare of a child. Police say he had 29 prior arrests, mostly for drugs.
The 32-year-old Torres was pronounced dead at the scene. The toddler was not harmed.
Information about Sanchez's attorney wasn't immediately available.
