Courtesy Calgary Police Service / Calgary Herald Nearly a year after the death of a four-year-old girl, police have charged her father with second-degree murder. Officers and paramedics were called to a home in the 0 to 100 block of Erin Ridge Road S.E. at around 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 19, 2014 to respond to a report of a girl in cardiac arrest. When they arrived, the girl, identified as Olive Rebekah Oluwafemi, was in cardiac arrest and not breathing. She was taken to hospital but died a short time later. On Wednesday, Staff Sgt. Colin Chisholm with the homicide unit said Olive died as a result of blunt force injuries.  Olive Rebekah Oluwafemi was found at at this Erin Woods home in December Her death is now being investigated as a homicide by Calgary police. Colleen De Neve / Calgary Herald Chisholm said police initially received reports that the girl had fallen down the stairs. But in January, investigators determined that Olive’s death was a homicide and not the result of play, an accident nor “medical intervention consistent with CPR.” “We believe there were injuries indicative of upwards of a week’s prior to the incident,” Chisholm said. Calgary police arrested Olive’s father, Oluwatosin Oluwafemi, 39, in Ontario on Tuesday and flew him back to Calgary. The family had left the city within weeks of Olive’s death, Chisholm said. Oluwafemi was charged Wednesday morning with second-degree murder and will appear in court Thursday. No other charges are being considered, Chisholm said. “We were looking at all possibilities but Mr. Oluwafemi was definitely our suspect from the beginning,” he said. Neighbours said the family was relatively new to the neighbourhood, moving in at the beginning of 2014, and kept to themselves. Olive was an only child. |
