Fresh criminal charges have been laid against the stepfather of six-year-old Kiesha Abrahams, whose remains were found in a shallow bush grave in western Sydney seven months ago, Nine News reports.
Robert Smith, 31, had been facing a charge of murder but after a police investigation that charge was downgraded yesterday to manslaughter and accessary to murder after the fact.
The new charges were filed in Penrith Court yesterday and Smith is expected to enter a plea to these lesser charges tomorrow.
He could face up to 25 years in jail.
Kiesha's mother, Kristi Anne Abrahams, is still facing a murder charge.
She is accused of killing her daughter at their Mt Druitt home in July last year and then burying her body in bushland in the nearby suburb of Shalvey.
Kiesha's remains were found on April 22 this year, nine months after the youngster was reported missing from the family's home.
