A mother charged with second-degree murder in the death of her one-month-old infant was scheduled to appear in Rosetown circuit court March 12. Instead, her lawyer asked the court to adjourn the case to Saskatoon.
Teenie Rose Steer of Kindersley was arrested on Feb. 25, 2020, for the 2018 death of her baby.Â
According to RCMP, officers were called to a home on Sept. 27, 2018, after a report of an infant in cardiac arrest. First responders and doctors at the Rosetown hospital tried life-saving measures but the infant was  pronounced dead in hospital. An autopsy was done on Sept. 28, 2018, to determine the cause of death. The autopsy revealed information that led investigators to believe the infant’s death was suspicious and RCMP Major Crimes took over the investigation.Â
Steer appears in Saskatoon Provincial Court on March 25.Â
