The chilling crime was discovered when sick Victoria Godoy took her son Renzo Godoy to a health facility in Berazategui District, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.

Tragically, the lad was found to be dead.

Godoy explained that Renzo had suffered injuries to his face and head because he “fell out of the bathtub”.

But the post-mortem examination of his body showed that this version of events was a lie.

Instead, said the autopsy report, Renzo was beaten to death.

Police arrested Godoy and Renzo’s stepfather, Luis Gallo, for aggravated murder.

Both are in custody and are exercising their right to remain silent, local media reported.

Investigators believe the couple regularly beat Renzo, as the autopsy report said the bruises on his body were from different dates.

Godoy reportedly has four other children.

The victim’s paternal aunt, Daniela, took to social media in the wake of Renzo’s death to write: “Victoria Godoy and Luis Gallo are murderers.

“That piece of trash didn’t let my brother see his children for more than a year after she got together with that son of a b*tch.

“Before, she would come and bring the four boys (including one who’s not my brother’s, but we still love him just the same) and she would leave them with my mum, saying, ‘I can’t stand them, you take care of them.’

“When she got together with that son of a b*tch, she didn’t let them come anymore, she didn’t let us come and get them, she didn’t let them celebrate their birthdays with us, with their cousins, nothing.”

Renzo’s grandmother, Gladys, collected his body on 23rd December so he could be buried.

Daniela said of Gallo: “When we went to see them, and if he allowed us, he always had to be there, the children seated, he wouldn’t let them hug us, they looked like soldiers.

“My mum filed a complaint, my brother filed a complaint, the nursery school called her in because the boy went in beaten (we were never told because he doesn’t have my brother’s surname), my brother hired a lawyer, sh*tty laws, nothing can ever be done, you always have to wait for the worst to happen.”*//
