“This is clearly an extremely distressing incident with many unanswered questions, however at this very early stage, nobody else is sought in connection with the deaths. I want to thank local people for the assistance they have given officers as they work to establish the full circumstances of these two tragic deaths. They will see additional officers in the area, and anyone with information or concerns should speak with those officers,” said Detective Inspector Sean Treweek.
MEAWW previously reported about a 6-year-old boy from Arkansas found dead in his mother’s house. As per reports, the remains of the toddler were buried beneath the hallway floor, while his sister also suffered a severe burn on her scalp. The incident came to light when the girl, also 6, was rushed to the hospital with significant burn injuries. Although it is not certain how the body was discovered, Ashley Roland, the children's 28-year-old mother, and Nathan Bridges, Roland's presumed boyfriend, 33, were detained on suspicion of killing the child.
As per the police, the boy was murdered about 3 months ago. "Based on initial findings, it’s believed the boy died from injuries sustained in the home, possibly three months ago," the Arkansas Department of Public Safety stated in a news release. The state medical examiner is expected to determine the manner and cause of death.
