Body of Boy Found in Concrete Is Identified
A body found encased in concrete in a carport last month was identified as that of 13-year-old Conrad Morales, the brother of an 11-year-old boy found beaten to death inside the same home, authorities said Tuesday.
Dental records confirmed Conrad’s identity. Police think Conrad was killed in Washington state before his body was brought to Corona, placed in a large plastic trash can and covered with concrete.
Conrad’s uncle and aunt, Raul and Cathy Sarinana, have been arrested on suspicion of murder in the death of Conrad’s brother, Ricky, but no charges have been filed in Conrad’s death. Police have not disclosed any motives for the deaths.
