Provincial police say two people have been charged with murder in the death of an infant on Manitoulin Island last year.
Police say they responded to a call at a Burpee Township residence on Oct. 1, 2024 about an infant without vital signs, who was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Investigators say a 40-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman were arrested on Thursday and charged with second-degree murder in the case.
They remain in custody and are scheduled to appear in court later this month.
Police say the Manitoulin OPP Crime Unit continues to investigate.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the OPP.
