WHEATFIELD, Ind. (WLS) -- Two people charged with murder after bone fragments were found in the backyard of their Indiana home pleaded not guilty on Friday.

Investigators found the bones after searching a fire pit at the home in Wheatfield last month.

That search was prompted by a person who told police that an acquaintance had admitted to killing two of their children and then burning the bodies in a fire pit.

Documents released in court Friday outline that alleged confession.

Steven Valle and Samantha Sebella are due back in court in December.
