Couple kills baby, burns body on grill, hides it for year until mother confesses. Charming.

The boys' parents, 24-year-old Nickella Reid and 27-year-old Joseph Miller, were arrested Friday after Reid took her year-old son to the hospital with burns. She said he was scalded the day before Thanksgiving by Miller, her boyfriend.

Reid told police that Miller killed another son, Deante Miller, in March 2006, while Miller said he died of natural causes. Miller also denied scalding the younger boy.

Authorities say the couple then burned the body in a barbecue grill — to save on funeral costs, they claimed — and hid what was left of the remains in the ceiling of a home once occupied by Miller's sister.

She said that the surviving boy was severely abused, with burns over one-third of his body. He was in fair condition at a Children's Hospital of Michigan, and Reid's four other children were placed in foster care, authorities said.
