Sources confirm Bamba was found dead Saturday at her parent’s home where she was court ordered to live while out on bail.

In August, Provincial Court Judge Joanne Durant ruled there was enough evidence to have Bamba stand trial, following a four-day preliminary inquiry.

Zoue was found dead inside Bamba’s Ranchlands home in January 2016. She was charged seven months later and had since been released on bail, under house arrest.

Police have said the little boy was asphyxiated and may have been dead inside the home for up to 24 hours before he was found.

Bamba was scheduled to appear in the Court of Queen’s Bench in December.
