Resident arrested for child abuse homicide Logan City Police detectives arrested Edward Raymond Gularte III of Logan Jan. 9, on a No-Bail warrant issued out of 1st District Court.

After the receipt of the autopsy report and an investigation of the events surrounding the child’s death, a review of the evidence by the Cache County Attorney’s Office produced a warrant charging Gularte with child abuse homicide.
