Trial to begin in Calgary for man charged in death of four-year-old daughter

CALGARY- A murder trial is scheduled to begin today for a man charged in the death of his young daughter.

Police have said they were called in December of 2014 to a home in Calgary, where they found the preschooler in cardiac arrest and not breathing.

Olive Rebekah Oluwafemi was taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Investigators said her injuries appeared to have been inflicted inside the home and were not the result of an accident.

Her father, Oluwatosin Oluwafemi, was arrested in Ontario one year later and charged with second-degree murder.
