Canada: A 16-year-old girl has pleaded guilty to killing a six-week-old baby earlier this summer in Saskatoon. Family members say Nikosis Cantre died of blunt force trauma to the head.
The teen, who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, walked away from open custody at Kilburn Hall, a Saskatoon youth detention facility last July, roughly 15 hours before killing the baby.
The baby’s grandfather told reporters that his family did not know the accused killer, and his daughters had just met her downtown over the weekend, and invited her into their home.
The family of the baby and the Crown want the teen sentenced as an adult if convicted.
The accused girl underwent a 30-day assessment at the North Battleford psychiatric hospital.
