Prosecutor’s Office has announced a mother has been arrested and charged with
the homicide death of her 4-year-old son.
According to the prosecutor’s
office, Elina Gutti,
38, of South Bound Brook, was arrested Saturday around 2:28 a.m. after police
received a call from her home on Cedar Street for Gutti reporting she had
unexplained injuries on her wrist.
Police say they located a
4-year-old, identified as Aiden Singhania, with severe lacerations in the
child's first-floor bedroom of the residence.
Despite attempted life saving
measures, the boy was pronounced dead a short time later. A post-mortem
examination will be performed to determine the cause and manner of death.
Gutti was charged with first-degree murder among other charges. She will be
transported to the Somerset County Jail once released from the hospital,
pending a bail detention hearing.
Anyone with information relating to the homicide is urged to contact the
Somerset County Prosecutors Office Major Crimes Unit at (908) 231-7100
or the South Bound Brook Police Department at (732) 356-0087.
