WINNIPEG — Police in Winnipeg say they have charged the parents of an infant who was brought to hospital with suspicious injuries.

Police were called in late September when a man and a woman arrived at the emergency room with a baby girl who was unresponsive and had multiple injuries.

The child abuse unit investigated and found the injuries were the result of malnutrition and abuse.

The girl's parents were arrested on Tuesday and are in custody.

Both are charged with failing to provide the necessities of life.

The father also faces a charge of aggravated assault.
