McALLEN, Texas -- Police have arrested a man accused of fatally beating his 2-year-old stepdaughter when she wouldn't stop crying as he watched a World Cup game.

McAllen police say 27-year-old Hector Castro was charged Monday with murder. He was being held on $1 million bail.

Firefighters and emergency medical personnel had been called to the house Saturday in reference to the girl's apparent choking on a screw, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said.

But after a cursory examination of the girl, whose name was not released by police, it was clear the screw had nothing to do with her death, police said.

"There are no words for this," said Rodriguez.

"It makes you want to think about doing lots of things to this guy, but he will face the criminal justice system just like everybody else."

Castro, an undocumented immigrant, gave investigators a confession that implicated himself in the girl's death, Rodriguez said.

Police Chief Victor Rodriguez says Castro told investigators that the toddler wouldn't stop crying while he was trying to watch the U.S.-Ghana matchup on Saturday.

Rodriguez says the child was severely beaten and suffered several broken ribs.

Police said a screw or bolt was forced down her throat in an apparent attempt to make it look like she choked to death.

Four other children in Castro's apartment were placed with social workers.

McAllen is near the U.S.-Mexico border at the southern tip of Texas.
