Confirmed, not informed

A report published in Wednesday’s edition of the Stabroek News said that Toshao of Moruka, Joseph De Souza had informed that a 10-month-old boy, Troydon Thornhill of Kamwatta village, located in the Moruka sub-region and pensioner Albert De La Cruz of Santa Rosa, Moruka, had died on Monday evening.

In fact, De Souza only confirmed that there were two deaths and had provided no names. Stabroek News had obtained these independently and regrets any inconvenience the report might have caused De Souza.
