Lemar Martin
The godmother of the 3-year-old boy whose lifeless body was discovered in her Brooklyn apartment was arrested along with her boyfriend Saturday for allegedly torturing the child she was supposed to protect.
Nymeen Cheatham, 30, and Lemar Martin, 25, were charged with assault and endangering the welfare of a child Saturday and could face more serious charges - including murder, police said.
The medical examiner completed the autopsy on Kyle Smith's 28-pound body and determined he died of "multiple blunt impact injuries with soft tissue hemorrhages all over the body," a spokeswoman said.
She said she could not be more specific because it might interfere with the investigation.
The suspects were surrounded by two dozen neighbors screaming obscenities at them Saturday afternoon as they were led out of the 81st Precinct stationhouse to be taken to Central Booking.
Police sources said both have denied beating the boy.
