A couple from Oregon City, who are members of Followers of Christ, a faith healing religion, are facing murder and criminal mistreatment charges in connection to the death of one of their prematurely born twins, according to a press release from Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

On Mar. 5, 2017, Sarah Elaine Mitchell, 24, had given birth to two premature twin girls. The second girl died a few hours after birth due to breathing complications.

Authorities say Sarah Mitchell, and her husband, Travis Lee Mitchell, 21, are members of the Followers of Christ Church in Oregon City.

Members of Followers of Christ eschew traditional medical care, instead relying on faith healing through prayer and use of anointing oil.

Mitchell gave birth to the twin girls in her parent’s home, and also present for the girls’ birth were other family members, other members of their church and three birthing assistants.

After the second girl died in the home of Mitchell’s parents, Followers of Christ elder Carl Hansen contacted the Clackamas County Medical Examiner to report the infant’s death.

Police say no one in the home bothered to call 9-1-1 when the girl was experiencing breathing difficulties.

The Mitchells turned themselves in to Clackamas County Jail Monday, where they were booked and charged with murder and criminal mistreatment. They are being held without bail, and will be arraigned Tuesday.
