NEW LONDON, Conn. — New disturbing details in the case of Tiffany Farrauto, the New London mother accused of strangling her 4-year-old son, have been released through the courts.
Court documents revealed Farrauto told police she strangled her son and was allegedly "excited" to do it.
According to the documents unsealed Tuesday, police arrived at Nautilus Drive on March 7 to find Farrauto in the parking lot.
Officers were called to the complex for reports that Farrauto was hitting an SUV with a bat, but when they approached her she allegedly told police "you can take me away... Because my son is already dead in the house."
That's when police say she told them she had strangled her son.
Court documents reveal the 4-year-old boy was found unresponsive on a mattress with gummy bears scattered across his chest.
Once in police custody, Farrauto also allegedly made statements that she killed her son to "get back at her mother" because she believes her mother is responsible for her failures.
The court documents also reveal a witness who lives below Farrauto, reported hearing a child crying and screaming around 4:45 a.m. that morning.
Farrauto was back in court Tuesday after a judge ordered an evaluation to determine her competency to stand trial. She's being held on a $2 million bond.
