| Nouteme Sidime, 13, (left) prior to her death in October 2010. Her father Moussa Sidime (in a court sketch, right) will be charged with manslaughter, it was decided Wednesday. |
Moussa Sidimé, of Longueuil, Que., will be able to serve his sentence
on weekends over 30 weeks, which will be followed by two years of
probation.
The 74-year-old pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2010 death of his daughter Nouténé.
Sidimé got into an argument with Nouténé about how she was conducting her chores and he slapped her on both sides of her face.
Minutes later Sidimé found the 13-year-old unconscious and called 911.
She died three days later in hospital, never coming out of a coma.
Sidimé was initially charged with aggravated assault causing death. But
a pathologist's report found that Nouténé died of a cerebral hemorrhage
and the slaps were a factor in her death, and the charges were changed
to manslaughter.
The family called the death a tragic accident.
