Twin baby sisters aged just six weeks were beaten and starved to death by their 21 year-old mom and dad – cops

The parents of the twin children have been charged in connection with their deaths after an autopsy revealed they had been beaten and starved.

Angelina Belinda Calderon and Fernando Vega, both 21 years old, were arrested Friday for abuse that led to the deaths of their six-week-old twin daughters.

Houston police were called to the 2107 Linden Creek Way home around 11:15 a.m. on October 4 and found the babies unresponsive.

Vega said he dropped Calderon off at work and came home to find the twins not breathing, but the autopsy determined the children died of multiple injuries caused by a blunt object, reported KTRK.

‘The accusations would be terrible. These two children were approximately six weeks old and appeared to have severe injuries, severe malnourishment, and old and new and new injuries to both children,” Assistant District Attorney Appelbaum said. KPRC.

The twins’ father, Fernando Vega (pictured), was also charged. He said he dropped Calderon off at work and when he got home he found the twins weren’t breathing

“Very alarming, and like I said, it has to do with the fact that these injuries and the fact that they were malnourished are things that a reasonable caregiver should have been aware of and that’s why they’re being charged with that negligence part.”

Vega told police the twins were “fussy” all night, and he put them in a crib.

According to court documents, Calderon did not wake the babies in the morning because she was on her way to work.

Police said the babies were found on the couch with discolored skin, multiple bruises and contusions, and one of the girls had fractures.

The babies were born far prematurely but had not received medical care since being released from the hospital, according to court documents.

Dr. Jesus Rico, a pathologist at the Harris County Institute of Forensic Science, performed the autopsy and found several injuries on one of the babies, including dehydration, bruises on various body parts and fractures consistent with previous abuse.

Both twins were found to be malnourished, with one showing signs of acute cerebral hemorrhage and the other suffering from bleeding in the brain and spinal cord, indicative of recent trauma, reported KPRC.

Calderon and Vega were charged with causing serious bodily injury to a child and are both being held in the Harris County Jail on $750,000 bond.

Vega’s lawyer Mario Madrid said: ‘He seemed to be in shock, the moment was big for him and in front of the court I found him very respectful. “But at the same time, he clearly seemed a little scared because of the accusations he was facing.”

The father has a court hearing scheduled for May 29 and the mother’s next appearance is scheduled for Friday.

Calderon’s sister told the local news station, “She’s one of the best mothers I know,” insisting the sister was at work the day the children died.

An autopsy revealed that both twins were malnourished, with one showing signs of acute cerebral haemorrhage and the other suffering from bleeding in the brain and spinal cord.

Calderon had an emotional outburst during an initial probable cause hearing

The mother had an emotional outburst during an initial probable cause hearing, the report said KTRK.

“You were the last one to be with my kids when they fucking died. You make me look like I’m a bad person. I was at work when they fucking died,” Calderon said.

Calderon’s aunt, Sarah Calderon, told local news stations that both parents should be held accountable for their actions.

‘I’m just really disappointed, it hurts, it really breaks my heart. They both need to be held accountable,” she said.

“Because, okay, even though I don’t think she would physically harm them, like the babies weren’t even being taken care of.”
