Jeffersontown Police Chief Rick Sanders said West Virginia native Keith Kennedy-McLeod, his girlfriend and her three-year-old child were staying at an Extended Stay on Bunsen Way. When the girlfriend left the residence, Sanders said Kennedy-McLeod put the child into a bathtub of scalding water. The child was taken to the hospital with third degree burns. During examination, doctors discovered the child also had severe head trauma that required surgery and fingernail cuts consistent with shaken baby syndrome.
