GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The first day of testimony in the trial of a father accused of murder and child abuse in the malnutrition death of his 10-month-old child ended moments ago.

Seth Welch and his wife, Tatiana Fusari, will be tried separately for the death of baby Mary Anne who died Aug. 2, 2018, lying on a filth-infused crib at a home in northern Kent County.
The parents are described as religious extremists who rejected medical care and allowed their child to become so malnourished that paramedics on scene were unsure if they were dealing with a 10-month-old or 10-day-old infant.
