Georgia man charged with murder in the death of his 6-month old son after kidnap claim

On Wednesday, Antonio Pearce was charged with the murder of his six-month-old son Nnakai Pratt after police found the infant's body Tuesday near the Riverdale apartment complex.
Pearce told police on Sunday that robbers snatched his son from a car and two armed men in black stole $6,500 and 3 pounds of marijuana from a Riverdale stash house.
Police had already arrested Pearce on Sunday for marijuana possession and traffic offenses before he became a homicide suspect, and officials confirmed the surviving twin is now in protective care after removal from the mother of the twins.
A judge denied bond Wednesday, citing Pearce's criminal history and charges, and authorities added a false-statement charge after Pearce admitted concealing facts, Keisha Hill Wright said.
Police also charged Pearce with cruelty to children in the 1st degree, aggravated assault and aggravated battery, tampering with evidence and concealing a death, and investigators say the mother is under investigation.
