People living in a North End neighbourhood are in shock after Winnipeg police revealed Wednesday they found the body of a newborn girl early last month in a back lane garbage bin.
The newborn’s mother has been charged with manslaughter and concealing the body of a child.
Winnipeg police allege the woman put her daughter in the garbage while the baby was still alive.
Area residents comforted each other following a police media conference where they revealed information about the tragic and troubling discovery.
Officers were called May 3 to Boyd Avenue outside Jackie Black’s home. More than a month later, Black and her family members finally learned what brought officers to the area.
“This is awful,” Black said. “Everything I’ve heard going in on the news the last month, this is the worst. This is absolutely the worst.”
