A 12- year- old Form One student of the Corentyne Comprehensive High School tied his school belt around his neck and hanged himself from atop a double- bunk bed shortly after 3:00 pm yesterday. Shankar Kumar Oottam of Lot 177 Miss Pheobe, Port Mourant arrived from school around 3:00pm and was viewing a movie, during which his sister, Urmilla offered him some soft- drinks in a cup. According to his mother, Rohini Singh, Oottam did not seem pleased with the amount of drink he had in his cup and “swell up his mouth” and left for upstairs.
“I tell his sister to go upstairs and tell him to bring his clothes to wash,” Singh recalled.
But on arriving upstairs in his bedroom, the boy’s sister discovered him hanging from his bed with his leather belt around his neck.
“I went and pulled out the leather,” Singh said while breaking down in tears.
A small part of her thought her boy was still alive so she started to “rub up he hands and feet”.
“Me call for he and he na wake up,” she stated.
She then rushed him to the Port Mourant Hospital but the doctor told her he had already died.
The mother noted that Oottam is a very good boy. “He never give me problem and me never get any complaints,” she noted.
The dead boy leaves to mourn his father, Roopnarine Oottam, brothers Utesh and Omardatt, and sister Urmilla.
