A couple accused of first-degree murder of their 15-year-old son reportedly prayed over his dead body instead of alerting authorities. Medical examiners and police testify about the boy’s shocking condition.
Alexandru Radita was 15 years old when he died. He weighed about 37 pounds. The teen, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, was starved to death.
Rodica Radita, 53, insisted her health did not have any chronic health problems. She said he had the flu for about a month and had been suffering from diarrhea and a yeast infection in his throat.

Parents came home one day and found he wasn’t breathing. Instead of calling authorities right away, they called members of their church and prayed over his body for two hours.
“The boy was extremely thin and I thought at the time maybe 20 pounds. His shirt was off and he had ribs protruding from his body. Also, lesions on his neck,” one of the first police officers on the scene testified. “When I looked at the boy, my first instinct is he’s dead.”
“So they were praying and they didn’t call EMS until sometime around 2200 hours. There were multiple people in the residence when I got there that were, from my understanding, part of their church and they were in the home praying together,” testified registered nurse, Shauna Mitchell. “He basically looked like a skeleton with skin,” she said. “His skull was very, very bony. You could count every rib. You could see every rib. His arms were extremely skinny as were his legs. He had open and dried lesions all over his body.”
According to the boy’s father, Emil Radita, 59, Alexandru didn’t like going to the hospital. He had a bad experience when he was a toddler.
