The parents of an 8-month-old girl in Georgia are accused of killing their daughter, who suffocated to death after allegedly becoming “wedged” between a couch cushion and mattress inside of a filthy home that was covered in animal feces and insects.

Miguel Badillo, 24, and Kiara Davis, 27, were taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with one count each of second-degree murder and second-degree child cruelty in the death of their daughter Ellie, authorities announced. They were also charged with one count of possession of drug-related objects.
