On Thursday, Gabriel’s parents Michael Sinclair, 30, and Sonya Pasqua, 33, were arrested. On Friday, CPS released their names after they were each charged with one count of manslaughter.“Investigating the death of a child is incredibly difficult on all first responders and police officers,” Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta said in a statement. “For the past 16 months, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that those responsible for Gabriel’s death were held accountable.
They said Sinclair-Pasqua was returned to Calgary to live with his parents a few months before his death.News of the arrests and pending charges came as a surprise to the family.“There’s a lot of relief involved. There’s also a lot of anxiety. Unfortunately, we’re going to find out how he passed away when we have a meeting with detectives,” said Gerry Bakoway, Sinclair-Pasqua’s great uncle who cared for the infant in Taber.
“It’s been no no fun at all. I don’t wish this on anyone,” he said. “It’s been terrible not knowing… how he suffered, if he did suffer at all. The not knowing part of it has been terrible.
