A one-year-old boy drowned in a bucket of water at around 13:00 hrs yesterday after he was reportedly left in the care of a 14-year-old aunt.
Akeem Peters, of Lot 192 Pike Street, North Sophia reportedly fell into a five-gallon bucket of water while his aunt was asleep. Kaieteur News understands that the mother, who has four children, left home at around noon yesterday to collect money from the father of one of the children.
She left Akeem in the care of the 14-year-old aunt. After the woman left, the teen and little Akeem reportedly went to sleep.
But unknown to the aunt, the toddler awoke and wandered into the kitchen. It is believed that the child was playing with a roll of toilet tissue which fell into a bucket of water. A relative surmised that Akeem was attempting to retrieve the roll of tissue when he fell into the bucket.
Up to late yesterday evening police were still questioning the mother and her teenage sister.
