Relatives of four-year-old Muneshwar Rambarat, called “Raju”, were on Tuesday praising the Almighty for sparing the lad’s life. The child was found hanging in his yard by his mother.
His grandmother, Inez Prasad, told this newspaper that her grandson was full of life on Tuesday.
The lad is currently a patient of the Pediatric Ward of the Georgetown Public Hospital.
“He is running and jumping in the ward like any normal child” the grandmother said.
The family was however unable to speak to the doctor who is treating the child to ascertain if any serious damage was done.
Four-year-old Muneshwar Rambarat was found hanging from a hammock rope Tuesday morning.
His grandmother had said that the child woke up about 5:30hrs and began playing in the yard up until about 10:00hrs.
“Me hear he mother calling Raju, Raju, Raju and he nah answer. Then me hear she start holler and when me come outside me see she hold he up and take he out from the rope round he neck.”
The teary-eyed woman told this newspaper that her immediate reaction was to grab a bucket of water and drench the toddler to revive him but that did not work. “He nuh been move and when she cradle him and carry he out the yard he make a li’l cry and then fall unconscious again,” the woman said.
He was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital but was subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was admitted. His grandmother said that she believes that he was playing with his head in the rope as he sometimes does and probably slipped off of the concrete block.
