A source at the Guyana Fire Service has confirmed that Wednesday evening’s fire which claimed the life of three-week-old, Alisha Boodram, was as a result of a young child playing with matches.
This publication was told that during an interview with officials from the Fire Service, the six-year-old boy who was left with the infant, reportedly told the authorities that he was playing with matches and it fell on the bed on which the baby was sleeping. The child further related that after the mattress caught fire he ran out of the house.
The Lot 116 Second Street, Stewartville, West Coast Demerara property was occupied by two families and also housed a furniture workshop. Reports are that around 20:30hrs, the mother of the 23-day-old infant, 18-year-old Samantha Boodram, left the baby under the supervision of the six-year-old boy to go to the shop. Upon returning, she saw the entire house engulfed in flames. The young mother claimed that it was the first time she had left her baby alone.
There were reports that persons had seen someone throwing something into the house and shortly after the blaze was seen. However all this has been dispelled as fire officials have concluded their preliminary investigation.
