Ottawa police have charged a man and a woman in connection with the 2021 death of a seven-week-old boy.
Police announced on Monday that the homicide unit charged the pair after months of investigating the Oct. 26. 2021 death of an infant on Winthrop Private.
Two 35-year-old Ottawa residents have been charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life.
Police said the charges arise from a 16-month investigation involving the homicide and sexual assault and child abuse units “into the tragic death of one of the most vulnerable members of our community.”
Both of the accused appeared in court on Saturday and were remanded into custody.
