Memorial Held For Murdered 4-Year-Old Boy

MOUNT PLEASANT (AP) - The family of a 4-year-old Michigan boy whose burned remains were found buried at his house is holding a memorial service for him. Authorities found the body of Carnel Chamberlain last month at the house on the Saginaw Chippewa Indian reservation, north of Lansing.

The memorial service is being held at the Soaring Eagle Casino, located near Mount Pleasant.

No one is charged in Carnel's death, but the man who was supposed to be watching him the day the boy disappeared is jailed on charges he assaulted the boy weeks before.
