MONTREAL — A 34-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of a toddler who was found seriously injured at a home daycare this week northeast of Montreal.
Quebec provincial police say the suspect, from Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, Que., was arrested today for what police are now calling a homicide.
A spokesperson for the Crown prosecutors office did not have information about charges.
On Tuesday, police responded to a call about a child under the age of three with serious injuries at a home daycare in L'Assomption, Que.
The toddler died hours later in hospital.
Detectives met with numerous witnesses and an autopsy was ordered.
