Ryan Cato, 34, was awaiting arraignment on murder charges in Manhattan Criminal Court Monday. His girlfriend’s son’s fatal injuries included a lacerated spleen, a lacerated liver, a lacerated kidney, rib fractures on both sides and bruising between his toes, sources said.
The boy, Ayden Wolfe, was found unconscious in his Harlem living room, and a man who lived with him was charged with murder. “I don’t understand what went wrong,” a relative said.
Cops found the boy with severe bruising, puncture wounds and cuts after his mother and stepdad called 911 at 2:21 p.m. Saturday from their fourth-floor apartment in NYCHA’s Saint Nicholas Houses at 131st St. near Frederick Douglass Blvd., police said.
