SIX NATIONS RESERVE, Ont. – Police say a man and woman are facing charges in the death of a three-year-old child earlier this year on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory southeast of Brantford, Ont.
Officers from the Six Nations Police Service were called to a home on Six Nations on March 6 for a medical complaint.
Torrence Vanevery of Six Nations was found unresponsive and taken to a Brantford-area hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators say provincial police and Six Nations officers arrested and charged a 25-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man on Thursday.
Madeline Lee Froman and John Paul Smoke Jr. — both of Six Nations of the Grand River Territory — are charged with manslaughter, along with a number of firearm and drug offences.
Six Nations police Chief Glenn Lickers says the investigation has been very traumatic for everyone involved.
