A sentencing hearing has been rescheduled for next month for a Calgary couple who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of their toddler.
Badly burned and emaciated boy died in 2021
A sentencing hearing for a Calgary couple in the death of their badly burned and emaciated toddler has been rescheduled for next month.
Sonya Pasqua and Michael Sinclair pleaded guilty in December to manslaughter.
Gabriel Sinclair-Pasqua, who was 18 months old, died in 2021 after suffering major burns to a third of his body.
An agreed statement of facts says the parents didn't seek medical treatment and tried to treat the burns with honey before the child died from an infection and head trauma.
Sentencing arguments were originally scheduled for last month, but the judge in the case was ill.
The hearing is now set for May 16.
