A defense attorney says he wants a mental health evaluation for a Las Vegas man jailed in protective custody after being accused of keeping a widow and her daughter captive at his home, killing the woman’s 4-year-old son and putting the boy’s body in a garage freezer
This Clark County Detention Center booking photo shows Brandon Lee Toseland, 35, of Las Vegas, following his arrest Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2022, on murder and kidnapping charges. Authorities say a schoolgirl gave a note to her teacher saying her mother was being held captive and had not seen the girl's younger brother in more than 10 weeks, leading to the discovery of the boy's body in a garage freezer and Toseland's arrest. Toseland made an initial court appearance Wednesday, Feb.
Toseland, 35, stood silently, staring down at his handcuffed hands, as a Las Vegas judge ordered him to remain jailed pending another court hearing Monday. A lawyer speaking for the woman and her family said in a statement that she endured months of physical, sexual and emotional abuse by Toseland, who told her he would kill her children if she left him.
After the three moved into Toseland’s house in March 2021, Stubbs said Toseland covered windows, used video surveillance, took the mother’s cellphone, cut her ties to her family and handled her social media. It was not immediately clear if Toseland was employed.Police said they found handcuffs in the car in which Toseland was stopped and arrested after the daughter delivered the notes to school. The girl’s mother was with him.
The woman told police she had been abused by Toseland and was not allowed to leave the house alone or enter the garage.
