An Oklahoma mother and her boyfriend have been arrested for the rape and murder of her four-year-old daughter.

According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, Courtney Hansche, 26, and Michael Nordbye, 27, were arrested and booked into the Washington County Jail on the night of December 8. Both the mother and the boyfriend have been charged with first degree murder, first degree rape, and child abuse.

Hansche's four-year-old daughter Jaydenn was taken to St. John hospital in Owasso, Oklahoma, on November 15. The child was unresponsive when the couple brought her to the hospital and was later pronounced dead, KJRH reports.

An investigation was conducted by the Washington County Sheriff's Office with help from the state Department of Human Services and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, which ultimately resulted in Hansche and Nordbye being arrested in connection with the rape and murder of the child.
