UPDATE: This new AJC article titled “Parents of dead 5-year-old boy were going through a divorce” gives greater detail of the issues surrounding the DeToma family prior to the horrific incident yesterday.  Thanks to karass for pointing it out.

According to this CBS Atlanta video, Gary DeToma Sr. confessed to Decatur Police last night that he suffocated his five year-old son and also tired to kill the younger of the two boys as well.

A DM reader has reached out to a relative about a potential vigil for Gary DeToma Jr.  I will keep the community updated if there are any developments.
