TORONTO — Toronto police have now charged the two suspects in the death of seven-year-old Katelynn Sampson with first-degree murder.
Donna Irving, 29, and Warren Johnson, 46, had previously faced second-degree murder counts.
Police found the young girl dead in a caregiver's apartment in the early-morning hours of Aug. 3.
The extent of the injuries to her battered body sparked outrage, and Premier Dalton McGuinty later promised to examine how the courts handle child custody cases to provide better protection of vulnerable children.
