Chandler Police have arrested a woman and her boyfriend for the death of a 3-year-old child.
On Monday afternoon, police responded to a home in the 2300 block of E. Wild Horse Place in Chandler in reference to a 3-year-old not breathing.
The child later died at a hospital after CPR was unsuccessful.
A Tuesday autopsy found that the child's death was a homicide. The child died of multiple blunt force traumas -- there were bruises all over the child's body from getting hit with a belt.
The child's mother, 26-year-old Susan Witbracht, and her boyfriend 23-year-old Dauntorian Sanders, have been booked on first degree murder and child abuse charges.
A relative of the suspect told FOX 10 that Witbracht and Sanders are both Marines that have served in the Middle East.
The investigation is ongoing.
