Rafael Loera, 56, and his wife Maribel Loera, 50, were arrested after the skeletal remains of the girl were found.
The Phoenix Fire Department responded to the home after the fire broke out on Tuesday, but homicide detectives were called to the scene when firefighters discovered human skeletal remains in the attic,Phoenix police said the call about the fire had come just an hour after the Arizona Department of Child Safety removed two children—aged 4 and 9—from the home.
Police found human feces throughout the residence and child safety officers removed the child from the home after discovering evidence of child abuse. He initially told police that the girl, who would be 13 now, had gone to Mexico and did not want to be contacted, but he later admitted the girl was dead, the complaint said.
"The child has been throwing up in the days leading up to her death and had what he described as convulsions before passing away," the complaint said.
