The mother and grandmother of a 9-year-old Arizona girl have been charged with murder after authorities discovered that the child suffered from a severe untreated lice infestation when she died, according to reports.
Sandra Kraykovich, 38, and Elizabeth Kraykovich, 64, were initially charged with felony child abuse after they were arrested in March in connection with the girl’s death and the condition of her two siblings, ages 11 and 13, KGUN reported.
An autopsy determined that the 9-year-old died of “anemia from untreated lice infestation with malnutrition as a contributing factor,” Pima County Medical Examiner Dr. Gregory Hess wrote, Law and Crime reported.
