7- month-old baby electrocuted

Sep 15, 2016 News

Seven-month-old Corlene Williams was electrocuted yesterday morning at her home, 334 Second Field, Kaneville. Mother of the dead child, Olando Cambridge, told Kaieteur News that she had put her child down and went over to her sister’s house to fill drinking water to take home.

“Whilst I fulling de water I hear she grandmother holler out, and by time I reach back I see she running out and when I run in I see me daughter. And all I could do is pick she up and run out fuh meet de Hospital.”

According to Cambridge, she doesn’t have a clear idea of how her daughter was electrocuted. She said that her mother was the only person left in the house with the child. The grandmother was inconsolable and unable to relay exactly what transpired.

According to police information, the incident happened around 10:20Hrs. The child was reportedly left unattended in the living room on a chair next to a fan. At that time, the child’s father had left to take another child to school.

The seven-month-old was found wrapped up with electrical wire attached to the fan. It is unclear whether the electrical wire on the fan was exposed or whether the child was playing with the switch.

It was reported that the grandmother found the child holding on to the power cord with her eyes turning up. The police have since taken the fan to have it examined.
