Quebec police have finally charged the suspected woman, 21-year-old Valerie Poulin-Collins, with criminal charges in connection with the abduction of a newborn baby, who is now slated to undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether she’s fit to stand trial. According to the police, Poulin-Collins was charged with kidnapping a person under 14, and kidnapping and confinement of a person under 16 after a newborn girl was taken from a Trois-Rivieres hospital on Monday.
Consequently, Poulin-Collins is now scheduled to undergo a five-day psychiatric evaluation before she can appear in the official court hearing that is scheduled to be held next Thursday to determine if and when she will stand trial. In her first appearance, Poulin-Collins looked tired and pale in court on Thursday, due to which she was deemed unfit to be formally arraigned in court. Her official first appearance in court is slated for June 5. A spokesperson for the Crown prosecutor explained that even though she was arrested on Monday, Poulin-Collins was kept in hospital due to health concerns. She was held in the Ville-Marie hospital, where the incident took place, until Wednesday evening, after which she was released and taken into police custody.
The charges against Poulin-Collins have stemmed from the disappearance of a day-old baby girl from the hospital in Trois-Rivieres on Monday. Police officers immediately distributed a security footage image of a woman dressed as nurse, which lead to Poulin-Collins’ arrest three hours later because she was identified by former neighbours on social media.
