It has been two years since the two one-day-old twins were found dead in the back of a Bronx apartment building – but NYPD officials say they are refusing to let the case run cold.
and Constantino showed amNewYork Metro where they made the grim discovery. One baby was found at the end of the alleyway leading behind 1460 College Avenue while the other was found a few feet away directly behind the building. Both had been beaten with one dying from blunt force trauma to the skull and the other suffering from broken ribs. The twins were merely hours old.
“Usually when dealing with homicides we have a family to answer to, but these babies had no family, so we have become their family. We made sure they were buried in a proper place, and we will make sure every year we come out here to celebrate them and we get an answer one day,” Det. Constantino told amNewYork Metro.
Lt. O’Toole and Det. Constantino joined fellow members of the department and locals to hold a candlelight vigil for Zeke and Zain, something they pledge to hold each and every year. Attendees profusely wept amid the flicking candlelight before white balloons were released into the night sky in memory of the newborns.
