At 6:55 p.m., police received a call from the emergency room at the Kaiser Richmond Medical Center where Darn and Northington had taken the infant, who was ultimately pronounced dead.
'Visible injuries were seen on the baby, including burn marks on his face and his right leg appeared broken and had been burned. A circular mark was present on the baby's leg where the burn injury occurred. Additionally, the baby appeared severely malnourished,' the District Attorney's Office said.
A Coroner's Office autopsy found the infant had suffered from a broken right femur, facial scarring, dehydration and malnourishment, bruising on the top of his right thigh, thermal burns on his nose and right cheek, and thermal burns to his lower part of his body. An internal examination found internal injuries consisting of seven fractured ribs, bleeding inside his skull and a skull fracture, the District Attorney's Office said.

Two other small children with the couple were taken into protective custody and turned over to Child Family Services, police said.
The two defendants are being held on bail of $2.2 million each.
