BLOODVEIN FIRST NATION – Manitoba RCMP say a woman has been charged in the death of a toddler in her care.
Police say the injured two-year-old was brought last week into the nursing station on the Bloodvein First Nation, where she later died.
An autopsy deemed her death a homicide.
Police say officers searched the child’s home and charged her caregiver with second-degree murder.
Burma Skye, 56, has been remanded into custody.
Police say the death is a loss for the girl’s family and the entire community.
“This is a senseless crime that will have a profound impact on the community, first responders and investigating officers,” Sgt. Laura LeDrew, lead investigator with major crime services, said in a statement Thursday.
Bloodvein First Nation, a community of about 1,200, is about 200 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
