Valerie Owusu and Emmanuel Addae were convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Owusu's 5-year-old son who was brutally beaten and left for dead on Long Island.
The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said Valerie Owusu and Emmanuel Addae were convicted on March 22, nearly three years after Owusu's son, King, was found dead in a home in Brentwood, N.Y.
"This little boy was beaten and suffered for days at the hands of these defendants, one of whom was his mother until he unfortunately succumbed to his severe and extensive injuries," District Attorney Raymond Tierney said in a press release.
Prosecutors alleged Owusu and Addae beat the child with "at least four different instruments" over three days in 2021.
The boy's condition deteriorated, and he eventually lost consciousness.
Neither Owusu nor Addae called 911 or provided medical care for King, prosecutors said.
Owusu and Addae face up to life in prison and are scheduled to be sentenced on May
