A California man tortured and killed his girlfriend's 8-year-old son because he believed the child was ? , prosecutors said Monday.

Isauro Aguirre is charged with capital murder and may face the death penalty for the "unspeakable acts of abuse" committed against little Gabriel Fernandez, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.

"This wasn't about drugs. This wasn’t about mental health issues," Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami said in court Monday, according to the newspaper. "(Aguirre) did it because he didn’t like him ... he believed Gabriel was ? and to him that was a bad thing ... he did it out of hatred of a little boy."

The beatings and torture began after Gabriel moved in with his mother and Aguirre, prosecutors said. The boy had been "happy and healthy" while living with his grandparents, according to the newspaper.

Aguirre weighed 270 pounds and stood 6-foot-2 and had worked as a security guard, Hatami told the Los Angeles courtroom. Gabriel weighed less than 60 pounds and stood 4-foot-1.

Gabriel died in 2013, one year after he moved in with the couple in Palmdale. His mother is also charged in his death.

"After eight months of living with the defendant ... his body was battered," Hatami said, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. "The evidence will show he was beaten, burned, bruised."
Los Angeles paramedic James Cermak testified that there was an "unbelievable amount of trauma on his body," according to KTLA.

Aguirre's lawyer admitted in court that his client caused Gabriel's injuries, but said that Aguirre should not face the death penalty because he did not mean to end the life of the child.

"He is guilty of murder, but the special circumstance alleged, that he intended ? Gabriel with the infliction of torture, is not true," lawyer John Allan said, according to KTLA. "Despite the horrific abuse, Isauro never intended for Gabriel to die."

The couple told cops that the child "liked to hit himself, he was ? and he wanted to ? himself," according to the L.A. Daily News.

However, prosecutors allege that Aguirre and Gabriel's mother Pearl Fernandez plotted to ? the child.

"The defendant admitted that he hit Gabriel harder than he hit anyone else," Hatami charged in court, according to ABC 7. "He admitted hitting him 10 times in the head. This is a 6-foot-2, 270-pound man. (He hit him) 20 times in the body. He admitted that he lost count."
