The arrest of 19-year-old Jayden Rivera came Wednesday, days after the alleged murders of his father, 38-year-old Jonathan Rivera, his father’s girlfriend, 33-year-old Hanoi Peralta, and his half-brother, 5-year-old Kayden Rivera, because he has been undergoing psychiatric evaluation at Westchester County Medical Center, where he “made some spontaneous utterings that he did something bad, and that he killed somebody,” according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.

After the slayings, Jayden Rivera allegedly went back to his mother’s home, where he lived, said he had been “hearing voices,” and said that he “thought that Mr. Rivera and Ms. Peralta were going to hurt him,” Kenny said. The suspect’s bloody clothes were allegedly found at his mom’s apartment.

The NYPD said that 5-year-old Kayden Rivera was found at the Mott Haven stabbing scene early Sunday, allegedly “disemboweled” by his half-brother and babysitter. Cops have also said Jonathan Rivera was stabbed in the chest and Peralta, Kayden’s mother, was stabbed 15 times after the two returned home from a date. In addition, the victims were reportedly beaten with a pot from the kitchen, denting the pot.
