Two sisters are being held in police custody in connection with the death of a 3-year-old boy in Atlanta, with a report saying they attacked the child after he took a cupcake from the kitchen. They are scheduled to go on trial this week, reported a local news outlet.

Glenndria Morris, the boy’s guardian, told police that Kejuan Mason choked on a cupcake, 11Alive reported, but a police report in the case said Morris later changed her account of what happened. She said that when it was removed, he seemed fine and went to sleep. When they checked on him later, he was unresponsive and they called 911.
