Renton Man Pleads Not Guilty In Baby's Death



SEATTLE —

A Renton man charged with homicide by abuse in the death of his 11-month-old daughter pleaded not guilty in Seattle on Monday.

According to court documents, 25-year-old Ryan Scott Muench admitted to suffocating and scalding his young daughter. Prosecutors said he repeatedly covered the baby's mouth to quiet her.

The child had been born prematurely. Muench told police he was trying to stop the girl's suffering, the documents said.
