DETROIT—A Detroit mother has been arraigned Friday on murder and other charges in the killing of her 9-year-old son whose body was buried in the backyard of the westside home where they once lived.

A 36th District Court judge ordered Brandee Pierce jailed without bond, the Wayne County prosecutor’s office said.
