WICHITA, Kan. -- Police are investigating after the body of a
small child was discovered encased in concrete inside a rental
home in Wichita, Kansas.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the landlord was cleaning the
house Saturday when he found a concrete structure and noticed an
odor coming from it.

Police removed the structure and discovered the remains of a
child, possibly 3 years old, inside. One neighbor who spoke to
CBS Wichita affiliate KWCH said the structure looked like a
small coffin and was very heavy. He said authorities used a
forklift to remove it from the home.

An Associated Press reporter has left phone and email messages
with Wichita police for information about the structure.

The child's death is being investigated as suspicious, the Eagle
reports.

Police say a 40-year-old man and 35-year-old woman who lived at
the home were arrested last week on separate charges associated
with a child custody case. The man was also charged with
aggravated assault, reports KWCH. Both are being held in the
Sedgwick County Jail.

Police have not said if that man and woman are suspected in the
death of the child.

Police say they have tentatively identified the child, but an
official identification will be released through the Sedgwick
County Medical Examiner.

A flyer recently passed out in the area around the home
identifies a missing 3-year-old child. The flyers were shared on
social media with people pleading for the child's safe return.

Neighbor Toni Freund told the Eagle that she and other neighbors
said they had never seen a young child at the home.

"It's definitely a tragedy," she said.
