Apr. 5—A husband and wife who formerly worked at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital were arrested Friday after allegedly stealing an urn and disposing of a child's ashes, according to warrants for their arrest.

Anilus Frederic, 63, and Rosnie Frederic, 51, both of Dallas, are accused of stealing the urn from Carla Watson on Jan. 25, while they were working at a linen sorting facility at Kennestone.

According to the warrants, the Frederics found a teddy bear belonging to Watson from which they removed "a small gold and black urn containing the cremated remains of said victim's baby."

The warrants allege the Frederics then took the urn home and "disposed of the remains in an unknown manner."

Anilus and Rosnie Frederic are charged with theft by taking and abandonment of a dead body, both felonies.

They were taken into custody Friday and were each released from the Cobb County Adult Detention Center Saturday after posting a $8,470 bond.
