Michael Jones, 44, was initially arrested for assaulting and firing a gun at his wife Heather Jones, 24. However, as the police investigation progressed, officers searched the family’s back garden and discovered the decomposing remains of a child that was later identified as Jones’s seven-year-old son.

Police fear the boy was fed to pigs after being beaten to death by his father. The couple also had seven other children, aged between one and 11, who are now believed to be in protective custody. Their neighbours as well as babysitters have been long concerned with the Jones household and had contacted child services about the children.
One of the babysitters who asked for anonymity said: “Their house was horrible. … The kids lived in filth. Trash everywhere, dried food all over the house. Another one added: “For all those girls to have to witness what their brother went through and to carry the burden that something happened to their brother is horrible.
