The three policemen surrendered to the NYPD's Bureau of Internal Affairs, then were whisked to the Queens court complex. A phalanx of plainclothes law enforcers and family members surrounded them as they were rushed into the building for fingerprinting and processing. The eight-count indictment charges detectives Michael Oliver, who fired 31 times, and Gescard Isnora, a decorated undercover officer who fired 11 shots, with first-degree and second-degree manslaughter, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said Monday.
At [Tammie Steinhoff]'s apartment, police found a serrated knife and a bloody comforter on the loveseat where she repeatedly stabbed her son.

Phoenix's death remained a secret until McKay's two teenage sons came forward and told police they had witnessed countless horrors against the little girl. The boys told jurors both [Kematch] and McKay played equal roles in the abuse. McKay and Kematch have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in a case that made headlines across Canada and cast a spotlight on Manitoba's child welfare system. The pair admitted in their lawyers' closing arguments last week to being "terrible" parents who deserve to be punished for the horrible neglect, abuse and death of five-year-old Phoenix. But they say they should only be found guilty of manslaughter, claiming there is insufficient evidence to prove the charge of first-degree murder.
