A Kindersley mom charged with second-degree murder for the death of her infant daughter pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter.
Teenie Rose Steer appeared in Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench today by CCTV from Pine Grove Correctional Centre. RCMP arrested Steer in February 2020 and charged her with the death of her one-month-old infant daughter. Police say they had responded to a home after receiving a report that a baby was in cardiac arrest on Sept. 27, 2018. First responders and doctors at the Rosetown hospital attempted life-saving measures but the infant was pronounced deceased in hospital.
A September 2018 autopsy revealed information that led investigators to believe the baby’s death was suspicious and RCMP Major Crimes took over the investigation. RCMP didn't reveal details of that information.
Steer will be sentenced at a later date.
