Man accused of killing child arrested

A man wanted in connection with the death of a young child has been arrested.

London police announced Monday that they had arrested 47-year-old Guiseppe Joseph Stillitano. Police had been looking for him since October of 2022.

In March 2021, London police say they responded to a call regarding an unresponsive child, who was later pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of the child’s death has not been released, however, an autopsy led to Stillitano being charged with manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death.

The child was reportedly “pre-school aged,” but police say no other identifying information will be released to protect the victim’s identity.

The suspect was known to the child, according to police. London police said “this was not a random incident.”

Anyone with information regarding Stillitano’s whereabouts is asked to call London police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
