Murder Suspect Tried to Blame Young Children for Her Infant Son Having ‘So Many Broken Bones’: Police



Police are seeking an Ohio woman and her boyfriend for her infant son’s alleged murder after doctors discovered that victim Marquel Smith, age 8 months, had “numerous broken bones,” according to court documents.

Asked about the injuries, mother Savanna Dawson, 23, allegedly told Columbus cops that did she not know what happened.

“Ms. Dawson did not know how M.S. received so many broken bones and claimed that the other three-year-old children may have been to blame,” detectives wrote in the probable cause affidavit against her. “Ms. Dawson was released pending further investigation.”

Police said the same thing about her boyfriend, Kyrios L. March Jr., 24, in the probable cause affidavit against him.

The Franklin County Coroner’s Office did the autopsy on Wednesday. They determined that Smith died from blunt force trauma. According to documents, the doctor who performed the autopsy said Smith suffered from “brain bleed and several bruises on the subdermal skull.” Her ruling: homicide from blunt force trauma.

The child’s “numerous broken bones were consistent with abuse and not accidental in nature,” the autopsy determined.

Now the search is on for Dawson and March.
