Boy, 14, drowns at Leonora seawall

Aug 29, 2012 News

 

The August holiday yesterday took a deadly turn for a West Demerara family with the shocking drowning of one of their own.
Fourteen-year-old Rondell Ally, who went for a swim at the Leonard foreshore, never surfaced after diving, reports said.
The teenager of Lot 251 Number Two Scheme, Uitvlugt was said to have drowned sometime around midday yesterday.
The teen’s cousin, Camille Elcock said that Ally, who came from Antigua about a year ago and is a student at the Uitvlugt Secondary School.
He reportedly told his grandmother that he was going by one of his friends, who resides a street away from him.
“We don’t know where the friend live or who exactly the friend is but all his friends are from his school,” Elcock said, adding that the teen’s grandmother asked him to purchase a few items for her on his way back.
Kaieteur News was told that a couple minutes after the 14-year-old boy left home, a few children visited the grandmother and gave her the shocking news.
A search was immediately carried out by residents and police and the teen’s body was discovered.
The teenager who was said to be with the lad when he drowned was at the Leonora Police Station late yesterday afternoon assisting the police with investigation.
Ally’s mother and siblings are said to be in the USA while his father lives in Guyana.
