MERIDIAN, Miss.–The drowning of a four-year-old little boy in May at Western Gardens in Meridian was not an accident, say police. They have arrested the child’s mother, Keanna Denise King, of Meridian.
King has been charged with capital murder, reported WTOK.
Det. Dareall Thompson told the TV station that King was arrested Tuesday evening and that she confessed to drowning her son. The charge: capital murder.
She was also charged with child abuse.
