The Illinois parents of a 3-month-old baby boy who died after sustaining serious injuries were charged on Tuesday with three counts each of first-degree murder.
Logan Hutchings and Sophia Kelly were arrested by the Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) following an investigation initiated on June 12, 2022.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the Pinckneyville Police Department had requested the ISP DCI to investigate the infant’s injuries after the baby was admitted to a hospital in St. Louis and was discovered to have a skull fracture, along with multiple rib fractures.
The infant was pronounced dead on June 14, 2022, as a result of these injuries, police said.
Prior to the arrival at the hospital, the infant had been in the care of Hutchings and Kelly, ISP said.
Both Hutchings and Kelly are in the Washington County Jail on a $1,000,000 bond with 10% to apply.
