Two sisters accused of beating a 3-year-old child to death have been indicted on felony murder charges {snip}.

Lashirley and Glenndria Morris remain in the Fulton County jail months after Kejuan Mason was found beaten to death Oct. 21 inside a southwest Atlanta home.

The indictment alleges Lashirley Morris used a bat to beat Kejuan repeatedly in the head, stomach, legs and arms, while legal guardian Glenndria Morris spanked him after he sneaked and ate a cupcake, Fulton district attorney spokesman Dexter Bond said.

The sisters were granted bond in the case Monday after the Fulton DA failed to indict the women within 90 days. {snip}

The sisters face life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.
