MIAMI, March 5 (UPI) -- A Florida woman was charged with first-degree murder and related counts Saturday in the death of her 10-year-old adopted daughter, authorities said.
Carmen Barahona, 60, was being held in the Miami-Dade County Jail without bail on one murder count and seven counts each of aggravated child abuse and child neglect, ABC News reported.
She is charged in the death of Nubia Doctor, whose decomposed body was found in a truck Feb. 14 along with the girl's twin brother, who was seriously burned with toxic chemicals.
Miami-Dade police said in a release they would not discuss the case until Monday, ABC said.
"This continues to be an active investigation and further information will be released as it becomes available," Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said in the statement.
Barahona's husband, Jorge Barahona, 53, was in the Palm Beach County jail on a charge of attempted murder for allegedly pouring toxic chemicals on the brother, Victor. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree attempted murder.
