New details have emerged in the death of Andrew “AJ” Freund, the 5-year-old allegedly murdered by his parents and buried in a shallow grave last week in a Chicago suburb.

According to a Thursday criminal complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News, AJ’s parents, JoAnn Cunningham, 35, and Andrew Freund Sr., 60, killed the boy by making him stay “in a cold shower for an extended period of time” and “struck” him.

They did this on or about April 15 “knowing said acts would cause the death” of their young son, the complaint states.

Cunningham, who is currently 7 months pregnant, faces charges of murder, aggravated battery, aggravated domestic battery, and failure to report a missing child or child death.

Freund faces the same charges, as well as additional ones for concealing a homicide.
