LUFKIN TEEN CHARGED WITH KILLING 3-YEAR OLD

  

An East Texas teen has been charged with the murder of a 3-year old child.

17-year old Bobby W. Woods is accused of pushing a 3-year-old boy into a pond in Angelina County, to make room for his pregnant girlfriend's child to live at a residence.

Woods is being held without bond on a charge of capital murder of a person under age 6.  Woods, who was arrested Friday, has been booked as an adult.

The body of three-year old Mason Cuttler was discovered Aug. 18 in a pond near Lufkin, a day after he disappeared outside as his parents cleaned their home.

An affidavit says Woods, who lived at the home, admits he pushed the child into the water and left. The suspect's girlfriend is related to Mason Cuttler's father.
