MANCHESTER, N.H- Two parents and a grandmother have pleaded guilty to charges related to neglecting and abusing their children.

According to court documents, the five children were found inside a home on Spruce Street back in 2021 in conditions police described as horrific, as offices on the scene said they found trash covering the floor along with feces and moldy food by the children’s beds.

Eddie King and Alicia Washok, along with the children’s grandmother, Lori Harmon, pleaded guilty Tuesday to multiple charges related to the neglect and abuse of two of the five children and are scheduled to be sentenced in December.

Court officials say jury selection in a trial for the three was scheduled to get underway next month.
