Quebec man charged with manslaughter in infant’s death
SHERBROOKE,, Que. – A 19-year-old Quebec man has been charged with manslaughter in the death of his six-week-old child.
The infant died after being allegedly shaken.
The man was originally charged last week with aggravated assault and pleaded not guilty before being freed on a promise to appear in court at a later date.
But the charge was upgraded in a Sherbrooke courtroom on Thursday, a day after the child died.
He was freed again and is scheduled to reappear in court April 25.
A publication ban prevents his name from being revealed.
