MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) — A Sedro-Woolley couple have been charged with homicide by abuse in the death of their 13-year-old daughter who was adopted from Ethiopia.
Larry and Carri Williams were arrested Thursday and jailed in Mount Vernon with bail set at $500,000.
Prosecutors say Hana Williams lived in a closet and was denied meals for days at a time.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports (http://bit.ly/nf8Ota ) Carri Williams called 911 early May 12 and reported Hana was not breathing. Williams said the girl had refused to come into the house and was found face down in the back yard with mud in her mouth.
