“Drowned” toddler’s post mortem to be conducted today

Feb 27, 2013 News

The Post Mortem Examination (PME) which is expected to establish the exact cause of death of one-year-old Akeem Peters is expected to be conducted sometime today. This will essentially determine the immediate fate of the child’s mother, and her 14-year-old sister.
It was reported that on Sunday last, the toddler was left in the care of his teenaged aunt, while his mother left their North Sophia home at around noon to go and collect child support from the father of her three older children.
Akeem Peters reportedly fell into a five-gallon bucket of water while his aunt was asleep.
Kaieteur News was told by a relative that after the woman left, the teen and little Akeem 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.
After being interrogated, both the woman and her sister were released from police custody.
The results of the post mortem will likely determine whether or not the two should be, or could be charged with the death of the child.
