A Colorado couple accused of killing their 11-year-old son by forcing him to drink large amounts of water are facing several charges, including child abuse and first-degree murder. 41-year-old Ryan Sabin and 42-year-old Tara Sabin turned themselves in to authorities Tuesday and are being held without bail at the El Paso County jail. Prosecutors say Zachary Sabin died in Black Forest on March 11 after the couple made him drink the water because his urine was dark. According to an arrest affidavit, Tara Sabin, the boy's stepmother, told authorities he wore a diaper at night because of a hereditary urological problem. On the night of March 10, the stepfather said his stepson was 'only taking sips and throwing up the water.'
