A 16-year-old from New Tecumseth has been charged with murder after a baby died last year.
On Nov. 21, 2024, around 1:30 p.m., police discovered the body of a deceased newborn in a residence in Alliston, Ont., just north of Toronto.
Police then started a suspicious death investigation and ruled the baby’s death a homicide.
Then on Wednesday, Jan. 15, police said a 16-year-old from the Town of New Tecumseth was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and indignity to a dead body.
The accused remains in custody and is scheduled to virtually appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Barrie on Thursday.
