A woman who ran a day home in northern Alberta has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a seven-month-old baby.

R-C-M-P say Kyra Renee Backs, who is 29, is accused of killing Oaklan Cunningham in High Prairie.

The child died on October 6th, and an autopsy determined the death was a homicide.

Investigators are looking to speak to any families who sent their kids to the day home and have concerns.
