Three adults in Virginia are behind bars after a 4-year-old boy died suffering a regime of cruelty, authorities in the Old Dominion say.

Rebecca Ann Romero, 53, and Shanyah Elizabeth Dilda, 22, stand accused of one count each of aggravated murder, felony murder, and felony child abuse and neglect. Kemmilyn Anita Wade, 18, stands accused of felony murder and felony child abuse and neglect.

Each defendant hails from Manassas — a medium-sized town located roughly 30 miles east-southeast of Washington, D.C.

The identity of the dead child is not being released by law enforcement due to his extremely young age, the Prince William County Police Department said in a press release.
