Charges have been upgraded to first-degree murder against the mother of seven-year-old Aaliyah Isabella Rosa who was killed last summer in Langley.
The child was found dead on July 22 in a Willoughby-area condo, and in short order, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called in to take over the case.
Less than a month later, on Aug. 17, her mother, Kerryann Lewis, was charged with second-degree murder in the child鈥檚 death.
The BC Prosecution Service confirmed Friday those charges were upgraded. No details as to why were provided, as there is a publication ban in place.
Lewis is next set to appear in court on Jan. 30 for an arraignment hearing.
