Baby killed during drunken brawl had fractured skull
The police have concluded their investigation into the death of two month-old Andy Hunte who was accidentally injured while his parents were fighting.
This publication was told that the police have sent a report to the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice.
Meanwhile a post mortem revealed that the baby died as a result of a fractured skull and brain hemorrhage. The post mortem was done yesterday by Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh at the Georgetown Public Hospital mortuary.
In the meantime the child’s father, known as ‘Dougla’ remains in police custody.
At around noon yesterday too, the man’s reputed wife was seen at the Sparendaam Police Station taking meals to him.
On Tuesday last little Andy was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Hospital around 16:58 hours, after he was struck with the metal buckle of a belt.
Kaieteur News understands that the child’s parents are alcoholics who constantly fight with each other.
The mother of the child told this newspaper that she was breastfeeding him when her reputed husband became angry and started beating her with his belt.
This was after she begged him for money to buy milk for the baby.
“He buy a bottle ah Banko and start fuh drink. I ask he fuh money fuh buy milk and he say dat I always with dat,” the baby’s mother told this newspaper.
She said that as soon as the wine was finished, her husband became enraged, accusing her of having an “outside affair”.
In the height of the ensuing argument, the man pulled off his belt and began beating Ramgobin about her body. One of the blows struck the child in the head, immediately rendering him unconscious.
It was the father who rushed him to the Georgetown hospital where he reportedly told police at the Georgetown Hospital Outpost that the child was struck in the head by a pot thrown at him by his reputed wife. The man was apprehended the following day a village away from where he lived.
