An Illinois man accused of killing and dismembering a toddler because he wouldn’t stop crying is due back in court Tuesday, September 5.
Kamel Harris, 42, was arrested last year on charges of first-degree murder, concealment of a homicidal death and dismemberment of a human body. Police say 2-year-old Kyrian Knox was in Harris’s care when he went missing and parts of his body were found in a lagoon on the west side of Chicago.
The dramatic case unfolded in August 2015, when Lanisha Knox dropped her son off at the home Harris shared with his girlfriend, Danyelle Foggs. Harris said Knox them $ 30 and some diapers and promised to return for the boy when she finished moving from Iowa to Chicago. Instead, Harris told police, a couple he did not know came and took the child but did not bring him back.
Kyrian was reported missing August 20, 2015.
