Australian authorities have charged 12 members of a religious group with the alleged murder of an 8-year-old girl, police said in a statement Tuesday.
The child died at her family home in Rangeville, in southern Queensland, on January 7 after allegedly being "denied medical treatment for a period of approximately six days," according to state police.
Emergency services were not contacted until about 5:30 p.m. on January 8, the day after her death, according to police.
