Man charged with child abuse now charged with first degree murder

Kansas City, Kan. —

A Kansas City, Kan. man is now facing first-degree murder charges for the death of a 10-month-old child.

The Wyandotte County District Attorney's office announced Tuesday that Anderson Cheffen, who had previously been charged with child abuse, has seen his charges upgraded to first degree murder after the child died about a week after the June 17 incident in Edwardsville.

Cheffen is in custody at the Wyandotte County Jail in lieu of a $1,000,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 21.
