Jan 28, 2010 News

…remanded to prison

The 30-year-old mother who allegedly threw her baby into a canal on Monday was yesterday remanded to prison when she appeared before Magistrate Nigel Hawke at the Blairmont Magistrate’s Court.
Alexis Felix, of Old Road Weldaad Village, West Coast Berbice, was not required to plead to the charge of murder, which states she murdered her son on Monday last.
The woman who was unrepresented, stood calmly as the charge was being read to her.
She was remanded to prison and is expected to make another court appearance on February 15.
The prosecutor in the matter is Police Prosecutor Mrs.Donna Grant Fraser.
The child was reportedly thrown into a trench at around 5 a.m., by his mother. The woman according to relatives has a history of mental illness.
Quite a few people had questioned whether many, including Hospital Officials and others, were to be blamed for allowing her custody of an infant, given her long and known history of mental illness.
The body of the child is currently at the mortuary of the Fort Wellington Cottage Hospital awaiting a post mortem examination.
