Police say a 16-year-old has been charged with murder after a newborn was found dead at a home in New Tecumseth, Ont.
Ontario Provincial Police say the teen was arrested Wednesday, almost two months after the baby was found dead.
The teen from New Tecumseth, a town between Barrie and Toronto, has been charged with first-degree murder and indignity to a body.
Police say officers found the newborn dead on the afternoon of Nov. 21 at a home in Alliston, the town’s largest community.
The case was initially being investigated as a suspicious death before it was ruled a homicide.
Police say the accused teen was set to appear before a court in Barrie on Thursday.
