PINCKNEYVILLE, Ill. -- Authorities have arrested the parents of a 3-month-old infant child which sustained multiple bone fractures which resulted in death.
Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) said two people from Pinckneyville have been arrested for first-degree murder in connection with their infant child who was taken to a hospital after multiple injuries and later died.
Logan Hutchings, 21, and Sophia Kelly, 21, both of Pinckneyville, are being held in the Washington County Jail with a $1,000,000 bond.
In a press release from ISP, on June 12, 2022, ISP DCI was requested by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the Pinckneyville Police Department to investigate serious injuries sustained to a 3-month-old male infant.
