US man 'locks sons in a car boot' during shopping trip

A man has appeared in court in the US state of Massachusetts accused of locking his two sons in the boot of his car while he visited a sailing shop.

Fall River police say that Michael Monahan left the children alone in the Pontiac Trans Am for several minutes.



He told investigators the children, aged three and six, enjoyed "playing" in there, court records show.

He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault and reckless endangerment of a child and was released on bail. The children are now in the custody of their mother.
