A Massachusetts man was arraigned Thursday on new charges in the death of a 5-year-old boy whose body was found in a suitcase near a highway in 2014, prosecutors announced. A grand jury indicted Alberto L. Sierra Jr., 32, on charges of murder and disinterring of a body in connection with the killing of Jeremiah Oliver, the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
“It haunts any parent when you see a case like this, anything that happens to a child just eats at your soul,” Fitchburg Police Chief Ernest Martineau, who investigated the case in 2013, said Thursday, CNN affiliate WCVB reported. Two Massachusetts Department of Children and Families workers who had failed to conduct in-person monthly checks on Jeremiah’s family were fired in 2013.
