CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Two Chesterfield parents have been arrested after a boy’s remains were found in a home freezer, according to the Chesterfield County Police Department.
Chesterfield Police Major Mike Louth told 8News the body was in the freezer for at least a year.
Police said on Tuesday, May 4, they received information that the body of a child may be at a residence in the 6400 block of Lookout Point Circle. Officials received a search warrant for the residence and began an investigation.
Detectives found human remains in a freezer in the house that were taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner who confirmed the remains were those of Eliel Adon Weaver, who was less than 5 years old. The office is still working to determine his cause of death.
Major Louth said there was another child who lived in the home but did not specify their age or gender. The child has since been placed into foster care.
Pam Brown, a resident on the block, said that the Weavers pretty much kept to themselves, and were one of the original homeowners in the development, moving in about seven years ago.
She said that she never saw the children outside and Eliel was the younger of the two boys.
Betty Clarke, from the neighborhood’s homeowners association, said the boy’s father told her that the older son was homeschooled. She said didn’t see how that was possible, given that both parents were allegedly working.
Clark also believes that Eliel was born at home, because she remembers a midwife coming to the home.
Police said Eliel’s parents, Kassceen Weaver, 49, and Dina D. Weaver, 48, have been arrested and charged with conspiracy to conceal a body and failing to render aid to a child. Both have been released from jail on bond.
Kassceen Lazane Weaver was also charged with concealment of a body and the domestic assault and malicious wounding of a woman who is known to him.
Kassceen Weaver was originally held without bond but appealed and bond was granted. Dina Weaver has also been released on bond.
According to court records, Kassceen Weaver’s previous charges were all non-violent. Four times between 2011 and 2016 he was charged with failing to have his vehicle inspected and in 2013 he was charged with disorderly conduct.
The Weavers are married but only Dina Weaver has been confirmed to be Eliel’s biological mother through DNA testing, at this time.
Clarke, from the homeowners association, said Dina Weaver worked at Rite Aid as a pharmacist, and Kassceen Weaver worked in finances from home. She said that they both had cars up until a couple of years ago, but then only Kassceen had a car. He would drive Dina to work and pick her up after.
