Relatives of a Virginia girl who was killed by her grandmother’s Rottweiler earlier this year are now facing charges in connection to the fatal mauling.
Olivia Floyd’s grandmother Penny Lee Bashlor, 64, and her husband, 60-year-old Stephen Christopher Kachmar, were hit with a slew of charges Friday that included murder.
On January 29, the 7-year-old was attacked by the couple’s 4-year-old dog and later died at a hospital. Her parents were also charged with child cruelty/injury in connection with the case.
The family had set up a fundraiser page to help “alleviate the financial burden of Olivia’s funeral arrangement”.
“It is with a heavy heart that we reach out on behalf of Brooks and Alicia Floyd. Yesterday, they tragically lost their sweet 7-year-old daughter Olivia Grace,” the page read.
“We are asking that you keep this precious family in your thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks and months.”
