Bronx boy, 2, found in NYC waters: sources
THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) — The body believed to be a 2-year-old Bronx boy who disappeared last month was found in the water near College Point in Queens on Wednesday, sources said. Little Montrell Williams was last seen on May 10 at his grandmother's house in the Bronx, according to police and the family. Queens Harbor Patrol found the body between Throggs Neck Bridge and LaGuardia Airport, and investigators are waiting for Bronx detectives to identify the body, sources said. NYPD divers had been searching the Bronx River since Monday. The father, Arius Willaims, was caught on surveillance video throwing a bag, possibly with the child inside, into the river, sources said. The boy's father told his mom over the weekend that he had thrown their son into the Bronx River. He also told his mother, Sabrina Williams, the boy was still alive. 'He good. He good. Don't worry about it,' the dad told his mom over the weekend. The 17-year-old mom had not seen her son since May 10. Two days later, she went to family court to report that her son was missing, but a warrant was not issued, sources said. She went back a second time pleading for help, but the outcome was unclear because the records are sealed. The mom then followed Williams after he got on a Manhattan-bound train and pressed him about their child, sources said. Williams, who was previously arrested for beating up the teen, then allegedly pulled a knife on her during the encounter, sources said. Williams was arrested and brought back to the Bronx for questioning, but has not been charged, according to sources. He was then held at Rikers Island for custodial interference. The child's grandmother told PIX11 News she had warned police about Montrell's disappearance, but was told it was legal because he was the father. 'My son kidnapped my grandchild out my house,' she said she told police in an interview with PIX11 News on Tuesday. Her son left with Montrell after a fight at a Mother's Day gathering at the grandmother's home. She begged him to bring the baby back before going to the cops on May 11. Sources said detectives believe the boy was not alive when the grandmother went to police to file a missing person's report because the dad turned up at a family member's home on May 11 without Montrell. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Wednesday the department is investigating how the family's missing report was handled. 'The NYPD takes any case of a missing person very seriously,' Tisch said on Good Day New York. This is a developing story. Please refresh the page for updates.

‘May never be found': Dad of boy, 2, seen throwing bag into Bronx River, sources say
THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) — The father of the 2-year-old boy feared dead was caught on surveillance video throwing a bag into the Bronx River, possibly with the child inside, according to law enforcement sources. Detectives recovered the footage while investigating the disappearance of Montrell Williams, who was last seen on May 10 at his grandmother's house in Hunts Point. Investigators believe the boy is dead but don't know how he died yet, sources said. NYPD dive teams are expected to continue searching the Bronx River again on Wednesday, but given the currents, there's a chance 'he may never be found,' sources said.

Man killed ex's dad in frenzied attack, court told
A man murdered the father of his former partner in a "frenzied" knife attack after an argument with his ex, a court has heard. Kamar Williams, 34, stabbed bus driver Derek Thomas, 55, from Stoke Newington, north-west London, who was on his way home from work, his Old Bailey trial was told. He denies murder. Prosecutor Anthony Orchard KC said that on 30 July Mr Williams had been out looking for Mr Thomas's daughter Carron, who was his former girlfriend, but had failed to find her. A WhatsApp discussion to sort out domestic arrangements after their break-up had become abusive and "tempers appeared to become frayed," Mr Orchard said. The same night as the messages were sent, Mr Williams was allegedly driving his van near the Thomas family home when he saw Carron's father carrying a bag of shopping, on his way home from work. Witnesses described seeing a man stop his van in the middle of the road, get out, and attack Mr Thomas before returning to his vehicle and driving away. The bus driver, who worked for Go-Ahead London, had been stabbed five times with a large knife. He was pronounced dead at the scene, in Northwold Road, Stoke Newington, less than half an hour later. Mr Orchard said: "The breakdown of the defendant's relationship with Carron Thomas appears to have been the trigger for [the defendant's] actions." "He went out looking for Ms Thomas but was unsuccessful. He decided on an easier target, her father. "There can be no doubt the attacker was the defendant. Mr Thomas was struck by the knife on five occasions in what was a frenzied attack. "Mr Thomas must have been terrified." The defendant made a "determined attempt to avoid arrest" in the weeks after the attack before being arrested on 26 August at the Notting Hill Carnival, the court heard. Mr Williams, of Cuba Street, Tower Hamlets, east London, also denies a charge of having an article with a blade or point. The trial, which is expected to last four weeks, continues.
