The owners of a San Jose home day care where two children drowned earlier this month have been arrested, police said Friday.
Nina Fathizadeh and Shahin Gheblehshenas are suspected of neglect of two children resulting in death, and neglect of a child resulting in non-life threatening injuries, according to San Jose police. Both suspects own and operate Happy Happy Daycare in the city's Almaden neighborhood.
Both Fathizadeh, 41, and Gheblehshenas, 64, surrendered at San Jose police headquarters after arrest warrants were issued.
The owners of the daycare center have not responded to NBC Bay Area’s previous requests for comment.
The Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office identified the two victims as 1-year-old Payton Cobb of Hollister and 1-year-old Lillian Hanan of San Jose.
A third unidentified child was rescued from the pool during the Oct. 2 incident with non-life threatening injuries, according to police.
