Man Charged In Toddler's Slaying

Columbus Division of Police

The man accused in the December death of a 1-year-old Maryland boy found in Big Walnut Creek has been charged with murder. 24-year-old Kurt Flood is also charged with felonious assault, child endangering, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. Arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday.  Prosecutors say Flood believed Cameron Beckford was possessed by demons and beat the toddler to get rid of them.  25-year-old mother Dainesha Stevens pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence charges last week.
