A New Amsterdam man is on the run after allegedly poisoning his girlfriend’s young children.
The three minors have been identified as 9-year-old Anesha Leacock, a student of New Amsterdam Primary School; 4-year-old Natalia Matheson, a student of the Savannah Park Nursery, and 2- year-old Atalia Leacock of Mai Mai Dam, Angoy’s Avenue in New Amsterdam.
According to reports at around noon yesterday Shabana Leacock, 29, made a report at the Central Police Station, CID, that her boyfriend, Rafeek Rambarran, had poisoned her three children.
The woman stated that she and Rambarran had a misunderstanding that fuelled a heated argument and as a result of the argument, she took her three children to their grandparents’ place of residence, the Amerindian Hostel in New Amsterdam.
She related that she placed her three children in the care of her mother and left. However, a short while after Rambarran visited the hostel and gave the three minors a bottle of “Icee drink” which they shared among themselves while he talked with them as normal.
It was minutes later that the grandmother noticed something was wrong when the children began frothing.
She immediately alerted the other occupants of the hostel and arrangements were made to transport the children to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital.
A medical examination carried out by the doctors at the hospital confirmed that the minors indeed had ingested a poisonous substance.
They were treated and later admitted for observation. They are all listed as being in stable condition.
Police are on the hunt for the suspect.
