    Thousands Gather To Pray, Sing, Pay Tribute To 5-Year-Old Quinn Butt Allegedly Killed By Her Father

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 29 Apr, 2016 11:45 AM
      HARBOUR GRACE, N.L. — Thousands of people gathered in a small community in eastern Newfoundland on Thursday to pay tribute to a five-year-old girl whose body was found in her father's burned-out home.
       
      Friends and family of Quinn Butt attended a service at a soccer field in Harbour Grace, where they sang, prayed and read poems for the little girl.
       
      Firefighters recovered her body from a burned-out home in nearby Carbonear on Sunday, while her father was rescued and taken to hospital with injuries.
       
      He was later charged with arson and first-degree murder in her death.
       
      Butt's mother and other family members sat in a cordoned-off area for the memorial.
       
      Father Clem Flaherty, who participated in the service, says the family is taking comfort in the outpouring of support from the community.
