 BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) - A 6-year-old boy who police say was sexually abused, choked to death and dumped by the side of a road in black plastic trash bags was mourned at a closed-casket funeral Thursday.
An honor guard of firefighters stood at attention and a stuffed Spider-Man sat atop the young fan's casket as 400 relatives, friends and complete strangers packed the Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home to remember Christopher Michael Barrios, whose brutal slaying has stunned this Georgia port city.
So many people came that the staff at the funeral home had to squeeze 100 chairs between the chapel pews. Even then, some stood and watched from the parlor.
