Police order inquest into toddler’s death

Oct 30, 2010 News

The owner of the car in which two-year-old Radain Wilson’s body was found has been released from police custody.
This newspaper was told that the woman, Ms. Mayfield Fraser, called Teacher Mae,  was released from police custody some time yesterday.
In addition this newspaper was told that the police have received the file which was sent to the Director of Public Prosecution and it has been instructed that an inquest must be held.
Following the inquest it will be decided if any charge will be laid against the woman.
The child, Radain Wilson, of El Dorado Village, West Coast Berbice, was found dead, with blood oozing from his nostrils, in the back seat of Toyota AT 212 Carina motor car, which belongs to a retired head teacher of El Dorado, West Coast Berbice, shortly after 11:30 hours on Monday.
The child would normally be taken to school in a taxi, but after the driver was unavailable, his mother, Corletta Wilson, asked Ms Fraser to take her son to school.
However, the teacher forgot the toddler in the back seat of the car, and went into the Rosignol Health Centre.
Ms. Wilson only realised that something was amiss when a child who attended the same school said that he had not seen Radain for the day. She then used a phone to contact the teacher with whom she had entrusted her son.
It was only then that the teacher remembered that she had left the child in the car. By then, the child had already succumbed.
