The three suspects charged in the horrific killing of a 10-year-old Albuquerque girl are scheduled to stand before a judge Friday for arraignment hearings.
Fabian Gonzales, Jessica Kelley and the victim's mother, Michelle Martens, are all jailed for lack of $1 million bail. They face charges of child abuse resulting in death, kidnapping and tampering with evidence in connection with the killing of Victoria Martens.
The arraignment hearing on Friday comes three weeks after authorities say the girl was drugged, sexually assaulted and killed on Aug. 24.
She was found dead by police in her mother's apartment the day she was to celebrate her 10th birthday, with authorities saying her remains had been wrapped in a blanket and set on fire in a bathtub.
