“ News4 has now learned that, in October, Peres Magalhaes confessed to prosecutors and detectives that Brendan Banfield constructed the entire double murder plot and that he even intentionally planned to bring his young child into the home.
Detectives say the little girl waited in the basement as her mother and Ryan were killed upstairs.
After the crimes, the girl was taken to police headquarters, where she gave statements to a forensic interviewer.
The attorneys' motion gives us a glimpse of what she told police. The girl allegedly explained how the au pair woke her up that day, got her dressed and told her to be quiet so she wouldn’t wake up her mother. The girl said she thought they were going to the zoo, but prosecutors claim that was a lie Banfield and the au pair were telling the girl as part of the alleged murder plot.
The au pair has agreed to testify against Banfield at his trial, which is set for October.”
