B.C. mother sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison for death of 18-month-old
Police say the mother pleaded guilty to manslaughter after investigators spent years piecing together the toddler’s death.
- On Monday, a British Columbia Supreme Court judge sentenced Karma Dyck to 4 1/2 years in prison for the manslaughter of her 18-month-old daughter in New Westminster.
- An investigation into the infant's death began on July 21, 2021, after police determined the circumstances were "suspicious," according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
- Investigators "worked tirelessly" to uncover the events, noting the difficulty of gathering evidence in cases involving private settings and limited witnesses.
- Dyck pleaded guilty to manslaughter last April, following charges of manslaughter, aggravated assault, and failure to provide the necessaries of life filed in February 2023.
- According to IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Freda Fong, establishing the truth offers opportunities to learn from the tragedy and prevent similar future incidents.
