Justice official addresses reporters about the new charges laid against Regina couple over death of 4-year old.

Justice officials have stepped in to lay a more serious charge of second-degree murder in the death of a four-year-old girl in 2012.

A Regina couple, Tammy and Kevin Goforth, were previously charged with manslaughter in the death of June Alexis Dawn Goforth. The child died in hospital Aug. 2, 2012, of injuries that police said suggested she had been neglected and abused.

The Goforths are not the girl's parents, but they were her caregivers.

June and her sister were both hospitalized with signs of abuse. June later died.

The couple also face charges of unlawfully causing bodily harm tothe second child.

Corrections

  • The original story said the couple were accused of neglect in relation to the treatment of the second child. That charge was upgraded to unlawfully causing bodily harm.
