Peel Region police are looking for two men and a woman after an infant was found dead in a plastic bag inside a vacated Toronto-area apartment on Wednesday.

The building's superintendent discovered the child after he entered the fourth floor residence to make some repairs.
The trio reportedly moved out of the apartment in question on Tuesday night after living there for about six months.

What a sad, sick world we live in where babies are just thrown away.
 
A 23-year-old woman has been charged following the discovery last week of her newborn girl's remains in a Mississauga apartment. Levkovic has been charged with concealing the body of a child, which relates to the disposal of a child's body whether the child dies before, during or after birth.

Police haven't decided whether the infant's death is a homicide and investigators aren't revealing whether she was slain or died at birth.

A Mississauga woman today was acquitted of a charge of concealing a dead baby.

The acquittal came about as Latimer told Justice Casey Hill that he would not be able to be able to produce evidence to "support" the indictment and requested him to acquit the defendant, which he did.

Levkovic had been charged under a section that essentially said it was a criminal offence to give birth to a baby, and then conceal its birth, regardless if it died "before, during or after" birth.

Levkovic still remains before the Toronto courts on a similar charge, which Toronto Police laid after her arrest in Peel.

In that case, Toronto Police said Levkovic gave birth to a baby, who was born alive, sometime between 2002 and 2003. They alleged the infant was then stored in a freezer for several years before being dumped in the Humber River in January 2005.

I'm sorry, but this so-called prosecutor is an idiot. Either that or Canadian laws stink.
