Father held in tot´s slaying
Police said the toddler unplugged Tyrone Spellman´s video game, sending him into a murderous rage.

Alayiah Turman pulled the cord out of a video game while her father was playing. The toddler paid for the infraction with her life, police said.
Tyrone Spellman, 25, struck the 17-month-old toddler and threw her across the room last Thursday, police said. When the child´s mother returned home to the 1500 block of North 29th Street, Spellman told her the girl was sleeping.
After relatives discovered the child´s body, police were told that she had fallen off the bed.
Spellman, who is also known as Anwar Salahuddin, was charged Monday with murder and other offenses in Alayiah´s death. A preliminary hearing scheduled for yesterday was postponed.
"There´s nothing to indicate the child fell off the bed," Homicide Lt. Philip Riehl said. "It appears that the child was hit repeatedly, possibly thrown across the room."In the last month of Alayiah´s life, an anonymous caller reported the family to the Department of Human Services. The caller indicated that an adult was yelling at a child who was about 2 years old and that there were holes in the floor of the home, Human Services Commissioner Cheryl Ransom-Garner said yesterday. The caller did not indicate whether the adult was male or female.
The next day, a social worker interviewed Alayiah´s mother, Mia Turman, and inspected the child and the home. There were no bruises on the child, Ransom-Garner said, and the toddler appeared happy and playful. There had not been any other complaints.There was a small hole in the floor, and a larger hole had been repaired.
The agency made another surprise visit Aug. 30 and asked the mother whether anybody else lived in the house, because Human Services performs background checks on each adult in the home. Turman said no, Ransom-Garner said.
"The first time we went, it was she and the baby. The second time, it was just she and the baby," Ransom-Garner said.
Ransom-Garner said the next step would have been to interview family members and inspect the child´s medical records. By law, the department has a maximum of 60 days to investigate a case.
"It´s just so heartbreaking," Ransom-Garner said. "This was a case where the child didn´t appear to be abused. Obviously the caller knew something about the child and the inside of the house, but they didn´t give us much information."

Dad faces murder charges

ALAYIAH TURMAN started the day in her usual upbeat fashion.
She rubbed her tummy, sang her ABCs twice and sucked her thumb while watching a few episodes of "Sesame Street" and "Barney and Friends."
Alayiah hovered close to her pregnant mother´s stomach, thrilled by the growing bump that meant she would soon have a baby sister - although, at just 1 ½, she was still very much a baby herself.
A few hours after running through her bubbly morning routine, Alayiah was dead. Relatives found her lifeless, bruised and bloodied body stretched out last Thursday on a bedroom floor in her father´s Brewerytown home.
On Monday, police formally charged Tyrone Spellman with his daughter´s murder.
Spellman, 25, also known by friends and family members as Anwar Salahuddin, wrote a three-page confession that detailed the bizarre impetus behind the ferocious attack that killed Alayiah, police said.
Police said Spellman had told them that Alayiah was sitting on a bed with him in the front bedroom of his home, on 29th Street near Jefferson, while he played a video game.
The little girl jumped off the bed and started tugging on one of the video game console´s cords. Spellman allegedly told cops that he had reacted by punching her in the face twice and throwing her across the room into a wooden chair.
Spellman´s confession has started a war of words between his relatives and Alayiah´s mother, Mia Turman.
On the front door of the house Spellman shared with his brother, Tamir Salahuddin, and Keith Walker, a family friend, a sign was displayed declaring Spellman´s innocence.
"To everyone that knows Anwar Salahuddin. Don´t give up hope for him. The truth will be told. Anwar is a warrior and warriors don´t hurt women and children," the sign read.
"I don´t believe he did it," said Debbie Rogers, a neighbor who lives a few doors away from Spellman. "He´d never hurt his children."
The words of support for Spellman stunned Turman, 21, who is eight months pregnant with Spellman´s daughter.
"I don´t understand why his family wants to protect him," she said last night outside her home on Marston Street near Montgomery Avenue in North Philadelphia.
"You know your son is not going to confess to something he didn´t do. I read all three pages of [his confession]. He can´t escape what he did to my baby."
Police officials declined to comment on the case, citing Spellman´s preliminary hearing, scheduled for today.
Turman said she and Alayiah moved in with Spellman in mid-August because her house didn´t have running water at the time.
"We took her in because she had no place to go," said Cordelia Dixon, Spellman´s mother.
Spellman had a 7-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter from previous relationships, but neither lived with him, Turman said.
She said she and Spellman argued frequently but never resorted to violence to resolve their disputes. "He never laid a hand on me," she said.
On Aug. 19, the Department of Human Services was called to Spellman´s home, said DHS Commissioner Cheryl Ransom-Garner.
Ransom-Garner said an anonymous caller reported that "an adult [was] screaming and speaking loudly" to a little girl and that there was a hole in the floor of the home. The caller didn´t indicate if the person screaming was male or female.
DHS officials made several subsequent visits to Spellman´s home and photographed Alayiah, but "the baby looked plump and healthy and smiling in the picture," Ransom-Garner said. "There was food in the cupboard, and it didn´t look like an abusive home."
But there clearly was abuse in Spellman´s home on the day Alayiah died.
An autopsy revealed the little girl had been beaten to death, and a medical examiner´s report also noted that there was an old, healing fracture on her right arm.
Turman said she remembers Spellman telling her that Alayiah was sound asleep in the front bedroom about 11:30 a.m. last Thursday and that he was venturing out to the store to get the little girl more juice. Turman said she had drifted off to sleep.
Walker, the family friend, said his girlfriend discovered Alayiah dead in the front bedroom. He said that he had flagged down Spellman, who was returning from the store, and that Spellman had run to a neighbor´s house to call 911.
"Until I meet Alayiah again, I´ll never really understand what happened," Turman said.
