He was last seen walking with an older boy outside the reserve’s recreation complex, while his foster mother was playing bingo.

Saskatchewan’s child advocate determined that the 10-year-old boy who killed Bonneau had behavioural issues and probably shouldn’t have been in the community unsupervised.

The inquest is to run for two weeks in Regina.
