the reason why the 11-year-old ingested poison and caused her death Monday night.
The C.V.Nunes Primary School student died around 21:00 hours on Monday at the Suddie Public Hospital, one day after she consumed the poisonous substance at her father’s residence.
According to reports, the 11-year-old, who was preparing to write the National Grade Six Examination, yesterday and today, was upbraided by her father who insisted she concentrate her energies on revising her school work, instead of viewing the television.
Deonarine, the child’s grandfather, said that he cannot say why his granddaughter consumed the poisonous substance but related that the girl and her elder brother were alone at the time. The elder Singh said when the girl started to froth, they realized that she had consumed poison. They took the child to the Suddie Public Hospital.
But there is a report to the police, that the girl told her father that one of her teachers deducted marks from her report and she failed, which caused some of the pupils to taunt her.
The 11-year-old lived with her father, grandfather and older brother. Her mother separated from her father some time ago.
