Sentencing hearing for teen who killed Saskatoon baby pushed back

The sentencing hearing for ateenage girl who admitted to killing six-week-old Nikosis Cantre last year in Saskatoon is on hold until the fall.

"Disappointment," said Cantre's grandfather, Jeffrey Longman, outside court.

"I think she should be sentenced already."

One of the issues is whether the teen should be sentenced as an adult. The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Crown and defence are preparing sentencing submissions in the case.

The lawyers are waiting for reports that will describethe teen's First Nation background, and the impact of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder on her actions.

The girl had escaped from theKiIlburnHall youth facility in Saskatoon days before the baby died.
