“I suffocated him, I never loved him. I put a pillow on the head of my son, who was lying on his back, and I pressed for 15 minutes without stopping.”

“After he stopped moving, I lifted the pillow, then I yelled for doctors to help to draw any suspicions away from me,” he added.

“I don’t have any mental issues,” he reportedly insisted, claiming that not loving his son was the only reason he killed him.
