Fernando Vega, a resident of Houston, Texas, is now facing capital murder charges for the alleged heinous act of killing his own newborn daughters.
Vega seemed devoid of emotions as he stood before the judge on Wednesday morning.
The great-aunt of the twins who tragically lost their lives is speaking out, emphasizing that both parents should be held accountable for this devastating incident.
Defense attorney Mario Madrid stated that, according to the law, his client is currently considered innocent. Madrid emphasized that there is still a substantial amount of evidence to review and an ongoing investigation to be conducted.
Vega has a bond set at $3 million.
Angelina Calderon, the mother of these children, is currently facing criminal charges. She has been charged with injury to a child, and there is a possibility that her charges could be upgraded to capital murder, according to prosecutors.
