A 30-year-old man from Ottawa is facing a murder charge in the 2023 death of a four-month-old girl.

Ottawa police say they’ve been investigating the case since the girl’s death on May 6 of last year.

On that day, they say they were called to a home on Genest Street in the city’s Vanier region.

The man is now facing charges of second-degree murder and failing to provide the necessaries of life.

Police have not shared details about the relationship between the suspect and the infant.
