Mother of fire death toddlers may be charged

Apr 15, 2009 News

The young mother whose children perished after their home caught fire is likely to know today whether she will be charged in connection with their deaths.
Anita Ramdeo, 22, remained in custody yesterday and police officials say her fate will be decided after an autopsy is conducted on the children.
That post mortem is likely to be conducted today and a report is to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
A source said that she could be charged with manslaughter.
However, legal sources who spoke to Kaieteur News were unable to recall any guardians being charged following similar mishaps.
Ramdeo has reportedly told investigators that she left three­-year-old Ewan Monroe and one-year-old Isaiah Monroe in the shack with a lighted flambeau, while she went to a shop in Bent Street.
Her reputed husband, Keyron Monroe, had told Kaieteur News that he had repeatedly cautioned Ramdeo about leaving the toddlers unsupervised.
He also alleged that she “would usually go and leave them for short periods, sometimes hours.”
Reports indicate that a flambeau ignited a mattress in the Hadfield Street, Wortmanville shack.
Munroe told Kaieteur News that the structure had no door. The children’s mother, who is pregnant, had fled after returning home to find the shack on fire and her children dead.
She eventually returned to be greeted by angry neighbours but was saved from their wrath by police ranks who took her into custody.
