QUEBEC — Police say a two-year-old Quebec girl who died in hospital after being found in a garbage can had been stabbed.

Rosalie Gagnon’s mother was charged Thursday with mischief, violating probation and obstructing the work of a police officer in the infant’s death.

Quebec City police had recommended Audrey Gagnon, 23, be charged with murder but the Crown has not yet laid that charge.

The accused’s bail hearing has been set for next Wednesday and she will remain behind bars until then.
