MILFORD, Ohio - A Clermont County man was indicted Tuesday on several charges relating to abuse that led to the death of his infant daughter, Clermont County prosecutors said. Marcellaus Malone , 30, faces life in prison on charges of murder, involuntary manslaughter, domestic violence and seven counts of endangering children after Milford police responded to his home Dec.
11, 2025, to find an unresponsive four-month-old girl.The ensuing investigation revealed that the night before, the child was being fussy, so Malone took the infant from her mother and placed her in a bassinet in an adjacent room, which was the last place she was seen alive. Investigators discovered a pattern of abuse by Malone going back at least two months, including telling the child she was “going to be a dead baby” and threatening to throw her off the bed is she “pissed him off.” Clermont County prosecutors said Malone would swaddle the infant as punishment for crying until she could not breathe and pass out. The investigation found that he had punched the baby in the face at least once for crying. “Children are our most precious gifts. It is unthinkable that this innocent child could have been treated in such a callous and evil manner. This Office is dedicated to holding accountable those who would do such unspeakable violence to our county’s most vulnerable,” Mark Tekulve, Clermont County prosecuting attorney, said. An autopsy revealed “reported history of occlusion of the nose and mouth by swaddling of the body and head,” which contributed to her death.Rocky River High School baseball team coaches resign after incident with fraternity members in Myrtle Beach, SCFather kills 7 of his children plus another child in shooting after domestic dispute, police sayGunman who fired on tourists at Mexican pyramid carried materials related to 1999 Columbine massacre Man arrested after allegedly firing gun several times during family argument inside Fairview Park home
