CALGARY — A Calgary mother is facing a charge of murder in connection with the alleged smothering death of her infant son nearly six years ago.
Police say the 10-and-a-half-month-old boy, identified as Sean Ronald Fewer, was found not breathing in his crib in December 2004 and was declared dead at hospital.
His death was attributed to natural causes, but this past May police were called to a Calgary hospital where a five-year-old boy had been brought in with breathing difficulties.
His medical problem was attributed to some form of trauma and his 33-year-old mother was charged with attempted murder, sparking an investigation into her history.
Police say based on new information gathered from the investigation, the death of the infant has been reclassified as a homicide.
Stacey Joy Bourdeaux is now also facing a charge of second-degree murder.
