A Quebec City-area daycare owner has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 14-month-old girl, Noovo Info has discovered.
Guenuite Kiwangala Mubwaka, who operated a family daycare in the Beauport region, was initially charged with unpremeditated murder.
The reason for the change in the charge, following a request from the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP), was not disclosed.
Kiwangala Mubwaka's husband, Josaphat Mayuba Ndele, has also been charged with complicity in the case.
The two were arrested on March 26, 2024, four days after the girl's death at the daycare on Sainte-Thérèse Street, following an investigation by Quebec City police (SPVQ).
The couple is expected to return to court in September.
