Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Mar, 2016 10:42 AM
    TORONTO — A Toronto-area daycare provider accused of killing a child in her care was found guilty of manslaughter on Monday.
     
    April Luckese was found guilty in the death of Duy-An Nguyen.
     
    The 14-month-old girl was discovered unconscious and unresponsive in Luckese's home — an unlicensed daycare centre — on Jan. 5, 2011.
     
    The child died in a hospital two days later.
     
    Luckese's defence lawyer said his client was "devastated" by the judgment that was delivered Monday in a Brampton, Ont., court
     
    Luckese, who has been out on bail, had initially been charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assaulted, but those charges were stayed in December 2011 and new charges were laid.
     
    Sentencing submissions in Luckese's case are expected on April 21 and she is expected to be sentenced on May 9.
