Manitoba RCMP are looking for more information after the remains of an infant were identified.

Back in June, human remains were found on a property just off Highway 6 in the RM of Grahamdale.

RCMP believed the remains belonged to an infant.

Investigators have now identified the remains as Xavia Skye Lynn Butler, who police believe was between one and two years old when she died.

RCMP said her remains were found in a barn on the property.

RCMP are investigating her death as a homicide. In a news release Friday, RCMP said investigators were last able to physically place her about a year before her death.

Police said there were no missing person reports.
