Tochigi Prefecture Police have arrested the former owner of a child care facility in Utsunomiya and her two children for causing the death of a 9-month-old girl who was under their care last year.

The police on Thursday arrested Yokohama resident Kumiko Kimura, 58, as well as her daughter Remi, 28, and her son Taka, 23, who both worked at the Toys child care facility, on suspicion of neglect resulting in death.

None has admitted guilt in the infant’s death in July 2014, police said.
