A 26-year-old man in Arizona has been arrested for allegedly killing his 2-year-old stepchild, beating the boy to death and explaining to authorities that the toddler was “a lot.”

Hein Lwin was taken into custody in October and is currently facing charges of premeditated first-degree murder in the child’s slaying, authorities announced.

According to a news release from the Peoria Police Department, officers at about 6:15 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24, responded to a call at an apartment complex in the area near 108th Avenue and Olive Avenue. The caller identified himself as Lwin and told the emergency dispatcher that his stepchild “was choking on a cloth.”
