ALFRED — A grand jury has handed up indictments against an Arundel man accused of killing his 2½-month-old son.

A York County grand jury yesterday indicated 23-year-old Gordon Collins-Faunce on charges of depraved indifference murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault and assault.

On May 5, Collins-Faunce grabbed his son, Ethan Henderson, by the head, squeezed the child’s head and threw him hard into a chair, according to an affidavit filed in the case. Collins-Faunce told police the baby was crying, as was his half-sister, and that he was frustrated and overwhelmed, according to the document.

Collins-Faunce was arrested the next day, while the child was in the hospital with grave injuries. The baby died May 8 after being taken off life support.

The indictments on charges of aggravated assault and assault stem from earlier alleged incidents.

Collins-Faunce is being held on $100,000 bail.
