A post mortem examination conducted yesterday on the body of one year-old Akeem Peters who was reportedly discovered lying head down in a bucket of water in his 192 Pike Street, North Sophia home, confirmed the suspicions of many who immediately opined that the child died of drowning.
It was reported that on Sunday last, the toddler was left in the care of his 14-year-old aunt, while his mother left the village at around noon to go collect child support money from the father of her three older children.
Peters reportedly fell into a five-gallon bucket of water while his teenaged aunt was asleep.
Kaieteur News was told by a relative that after the mother of four left, the teen and little Akeem went to sleep.
But unknown to the aunt, the toddler awoke and wandered into the kitchen. It is believed that the child was playing with a roll of toilet tissue which fell into a bucket of water. A relative surmised that Akeem was attempting to retrieve the roll of tissue when he fell into the bucket.
After being interrogated, both the woman and her sister were later released from police custody. It is unclear at this point if either of the females could or would be charged.
