Child drowns baby in toilet

   Coolopolis reader Patrick S. sent in this not-very-uplifting story from Nov. 1, 1950 in which a 5-year-old child dropped in on a baby left alone next door in Senneterre, Abitibi and proceeded to cut the little two-month-old with a knife.
   When the baby, Royal Gariepy, started screaming, the five-year-old drowned him in the toilet to shut him up.
   The baby's mother Irenee Gariepy was at the post office with her three other kids Gabriel Gariepy, Michel Gariepy and Carol Gariepy, at the time.
   She had asked a neighbour to look in on the baby if she heard him crying.
   Now aren't you glad you know about that incident?
   The perpetrator would be 68 today.
