Charges laid after young child’s death at Beardy’s and Okemasis Cree Nation
A tragic story is unfolding in central Saskatchewan.
Almost one month after a young child’s death at Beardy’s and Okemasis Cree Nation, a 67-year-old woman has been arrested and charged with manslaughter, criminal negligence causing death, failing to provide the necessities of life and abandoning a child.
She made her first court appearance Thursday in Saskatoon and is scheduled to return to court next week in Rosthern.
On May 10, RCMP responded to a report of a child in medical distress.
