<p>Detectives didn&#8217;t believe the statements of the drug-addicted mom’s attempt to pin all the blame on her partner.<br />
“That would be the smartest thing to say,” a law enforcement source said. “But we have nothing to corroborate that at all.”<br />
However, everything changed in the investigation after Mohammad Torabi killed himself.<br />
Authorities had invited the father if the battered twins for questioning. He fled and refused to speak with authorities.<br />
Within days of the death of his daughter, Mohammad jumped from the top of a seven-story building in New York.<br />
After the suicide more details were released on his criminal background.<br />
Mohammad Torabi had a history of domestic violence. Additionally, Mohammad was a convicted felon.<br />

Administration for Children’s Services said past issues with Tina were drug related, not violence. They portrayed her as a battered wife working on putting her life back together for her kids.<br />
Detectives were reluctant to endorse the view of ACS, especially after it was revealed that At least one worker from the city’s ACS had visited the home two days before the tragic find but claimed the kids were fine.<br />
Ultimately this line of reasoning was derailed when police investigation uncovered incriminating text messages from Tina to Mohammed on her phone.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text);">“She complained to him how she was gonna f–k up the boy because he would not stop crying,’’ she wrote.<br />
</span>Tina told police that “[her daughter] burned herself with milk, even denied seeing her husband for other a month, that “he hadn’t been there. But he had been seen with his daughter on video around the corner [from the home] at a drug store’’ just days before the tragedy was discovered, police sources said.<br />
Police believed Tina beat her son Kian. However, her role in the death of his twin sister Elaina remained unclear.</p>

</span><span style="color: var(--color-text);">“The baby twins lived in a house of horrors with their siblings,” said Acting Queens DA John Ryan. “ Sadly one is dead and her twin brother is lucky to have survived.

Instead, the baby girl is dead as a result of profound physical abuse. The girl’s twin brother had a long list of ghastly injuries.”</span></p>
