The Canadian Press, 21 Apr, 2016 11:08 AM

VICTORIA — A woman from Victoria, B.C., has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 18-month-old daughter.

Victoria police say officers were called to a home early on Sept. 16, 2015, to check on the welfare of the people inside.

Police say emergency crews found the young girl and tried to resuscitate her, but the toddler died.

The girl's mother was taken to hospital.

Police arrested the mother Tuesday and charged her with first-degree murder.

Police say details of the case, including the mother's identity, cannot be released because of a publication ban.
