THE parents of Daniel Nixon, a two-year-old found dead in bushes in Fox Hill last week, were granted $7,000 bail yesterday after spending two nights in prison.
They have been charged with cruelty to children.
Douglas Nixon, 40, and Jenny Nixon, 31, appeared tired before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans during their bail hearing.
Police reportedly recovered the remains of their toddler in the bushes in the Fox Hill area on the night of November 14. The victim had apparent injuries to his neck and head.
The animal control unit took blood samples from stray dogs after the incident, but authorities have yet to disclose an official cause of death.
Two days after pleading not guilty to the charge, the Nixons’ bail was set at $7,000 with one or two sureties each. Under the terms of their bail, they must sign in at Fox Hill Police Station every Friday. They are also to be fitted with monitoring devices.
Their trial is scheduled for February 7, 2024.
