Police arrested and charged a father and son early Thursday in connection with the murder of a pregnant teenager who was about to give birth, and her boyfriend, in San Antonio last month.

Christopher Preciado, 19, was charged with capital murder while his father, 53-year-old Ramon Preciado, was charged with abuse of a corpse for allegedly helping to move the bodies of Savanah Soto, 18, and Matthew Guerra, 22, who were found shot dead in a car.

A conviction for capital murder is punishable by the death penalty or life imprisonment.

San Antonio Police Department confirmed the charges in a statement and said more charges are pending, possibly relating to the death of the unborn child.

    They’re stating that the Bible covers literally this scenario, and it demands financial compensation. The fact that this is so much worse than an elective abortion just reiterates that point. Unless someone wanted to argue that murdering a planned, viable, unborn child isn’t as bad.

    Now the Bible is way too radical for me on this. But that’s what it says.
