My heart breaks for what that child went through at the hands of this scumbag.
------------
A man accused of capital murder in the death of his girlfriend's six year old son is spending his first night in the Jefferson County Jail after arriving from Baytown at about 8 p.m. Friday.
The child's body was found inside an oven in the family's home.
While Beaumont detectives were escorting 27 year old Kenneth Pierott to a patrol car for the ride back to Jefferson County, a Houston television reporter asked Pierott, "Kenneth, you have anything to say?"
"Yeah, wait a minute. I ain't dying, plead guilty," Pierott answered.
A correctional officer inside the Jefferson County Jail tells KFDM News Pierott has been quiet and cooperative.
The officer tells us Saturday morning, Pierott will appear before a justice of the peace inside the jail and bond will be set.
The 27 year old is accused of capital murder in the death of his girlfriend's six year old son.
Police say the child's mother found Tre-Devin Odom's body inside their home on Amarillo Street early Friday morning.
Relatives and neighbors say the body was inside an oven.
Police removed the oven from the home and seized it as evidence.
Authorities say the child's mother woke up and smelled gas, and relatives and neighbors say she found her son's body in the oven.
Authorities say the oven wasn't on, and there were no visible signs of injury.
A preliminary autopsy report indicates the child died of asphyxia.
The woman's four year old son was unharmed.
Police say Pierott is not the father of Tre-Devin but is the younger son's father.
Police say Pierott left the home early this morning and drove to his mother's home on Campus near Park, then left when she wasn't there.
A Beaumont police SWAT team surrounded the home for about two hours before going inside and discovering Pierott wasn't there.
Authorities say he drove to his father's home in Houston and got into an argument with him. They say the father called police and Pierott was taken into custody and jailed at a court building in Baytown.
Beaumont police were notified and drove to Baytown to interview Pierott.
A judge arraigned Pierott late this afternoon, and Beaumont detectives then drove him back to the Jefferson County Jail.
Investigators in Baytown say Pierott has confessed to the killing.
The suspect has a history of mental problems.
A deputy in Baytown says Pierott told him that he "wasn't taking his medication, he had no intention of taking it, and besides that, he had just killed his girlfriend's small child."
In 1996, Kenneth Pierott's mother told KFDM News her son needed help.
That was after he killed his handicapped sister.
In a KFDM News report that aired in December of 1996, his mother Urnistine Pierott told us, "tragically, it cost me two children in one day. I lost Stephanie to death and lost Kenneth to the system."
Police say Pierott beat Stephanie to death with a metal dumbell from a weight set.
When police arrived at his mother's apartment, she said Pierott was running around naked claiming he was God.
"I know if he realized what he was doing he wouldn't have done it," Urnistine Pierott told us at the time.
Pierott was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
He spent six months in Vernon and Rusk State Hospitals in 1998. Mental health expert Sally Walden says it is not unusual that he was released.
"They have to have done well in a treatment program, said Sally Walden with Spindletop MHMR.
"They have to have the support of the community and they have to have a follow up plan in the community that they will comply with when they are discharged," said Walden.
In addition to the death investigation and the most recent homicide investigation, he was also charged with a misdemeanor assault against a family member in 2002 and forgery in 2000.
He got a total of four years probation.
"This is certainly not typical behavior. You wouldn't see people being discharged back into the community," said Walden.
Walden also says many mental patients aren't violent, and the death of the child today puts a stigma on patients who are taking medication and living productive lives.
