WINNIPEG --
Stuffed animals, flowers and candles lined the side of King Edward Street as community members, friends and family gathered Monday to mourn the death of a three-year-old girl allegedly stabbed by her father.
"It is sad to see a young girl's life taken so shortly – she was so innocent and beautiful," Darryl Contois, who organized the vigil on Monday.
"It is heartbreaking."
More than a dozen people gathered for the vigil Monday evening at King Edward Street and Jefferson Avenue – the spot where police arrested and charged 28-year-old Frank Nausigimana with first-degree murder in connection to the stabbing death of his three-year-old daughter.
