The man accused of killing a seven-year-old girl hours after being assessed by police and a crisis team will undergo a month-long mental health assessment, a court judge ordered Friday.
David Moss is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Bella Desrosiers, who was fatally stabbed in her Mill Woods home Monday night.
Earlier in the week, the girl's mother, Melissa Desrosiers, told CTV News Edmonton Moss was a family friend who had been mentally unwell. Police did not specify what kind of qualifications the mental health professional had, but said that before the Police and Crisis Team left, there was a friend supporting Moss.
"Melissa Desrosiers, who was a friend of Mr. Moss, went to his home to speak with him and provide support," a statement from EPS reads. "He subsequently attended her residence with her where the tragic events later occurred."
