ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—Details about the last moments of Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj’s life were laid out in testimony Wednesday in a trial that centers on accusations of kidnapping and terrorism.

The boy’s father and three other family members, including two of his aunts, were charged following an August 2018 raid of a squalid compound near the Colorado state line as authorities searched for the 3-year-old boy, who had been taken from Georgia without his mother’s permission.
