CARBONEAR, N.L. — A municipal councillor says the charred house in Carbonear, Newfoundland where a five-year-old girl was allegedly murdered last April will be torn down as early as next week.
David Kennedy lives next door to the house in southeastern Newfoundland, and says it's a constant reminder of what happened on the morning of April 24th.
Quinn Butt died while visiting her father, Trent Butt, who has been charged with first-degree murder and arson.
A judge ruled Monday after a preliminary inquiry that Butt will stand trial.
The girl's parents were in the midst of a divorce when she died.
After residents spoke out about the house last month, Kennedy says the bank that holds a lien against it took ownership and got a demolition permit.
