BRAWLEY, Calif. (KYMA) - The Brawley couple charged with abuse and murder of a five-year-old boy appeared in court Thursday.

24-year-old Leia Lentz and 24-year-old Isaac Elizondo are accused of murdering Lentz's son, Joseph Junior.

A date for the preliminary hearing has not been set yet due to the autopsy report and other evidence still needing to be reviewed.

Both defendants remain in custody, and are scheduled to appear again on May 7.
