The kindergartner who was killed as he slept inside his Kentucky home can be seen smiling and happy in his football uniform in newly released photos.
Logan Tipton, 6, died just before dawn Monday when an intruder broke into his home, grabbed a large kitchen knife and stabbed the boy to death in the head.
Ronald Exantus, 32, of Indianapolis is accused of breaking into the house where the boy lived with his parents and siblings in Versailles.
He appeared in court for the first time on Tuesday and entered a plea of not guilty.
Exantus is being held on $1million bail.

Suspect: Ronald Exantus, 32, was arrested by police and charged with murder and first-degree burglary
Quote:
Police said Exantus wandered around after gaining entry, then headed to an upstairs bedroom where the boy was asleep, stabbing him several times in the head.
Exantus has been charged with murder and first-degree burglary. He appeared in a Woodford County courtroom and entered a plea of not guilty Monday with bond set at $1 million by District Court Judge Vanessa Dickson.
'We're all kind of bumping our heads again a wall; it's mind-boggling,' said Versailles police Lt. Michael Fortney.
'It's a child who had no opportunity to defend himself.'
Christmas lights and decorations, including a Snoopy wearing a Santa hat, adorned the small frame house where Logan had lived with his family. Two bikes and a basketball were strewn in the front yard.

Two of the boy's sisters suffered non-life-threatening cuts in the attack, and the suspect was held by the boy's father until police arrived, the arrest citation said. The boy's family told police they have never seen Exantus before.
'The family did all that they could,' Pujol said.
Fortney said police have found nothing to connect Extanus to the family or to the town.
