Grandparents face murder charge after 7-yr-old fatally mauled by dog

Two Virginia grandparents are facing murder charges after a 7-year-old girl was mauled to death by the family’s Rottweiler, officials said.

Little Olivia Grace Floyd’s parents are also facing felony charges in the deadly Jan. 29 attack at a residential home in Waynesboro, a city of 22,000 about a half hour drive from Charlottesville, authorities announced in a news release on Monday.

Step-granddad Stephen Kachmar, 60, and grandma Penny Lee Bashlor, 64, are facing up to 70 years behind bars if they’re found guilty on charges of non-capital murder, involuntary manslaughter, child abuse and possession of a vicious dog, Waynesboro Police Department and the Augusta Sheriff’s Office said.

Parents Brooks Anthony Floud, 39, and Alicia Rene Floyd, 37, were charged with cruelty/injure to a child, the release said.

The grandparents are being held without bail after the four were indicted by a special grand jury, police said.
