Bush Lot boy, 10, found hanging

Rishie Mohabir

After leaving home to go fishing, a Bush Lot Village, Corentyne mother returned home yesterday to find her 10-year son dead—hanging from a rope around his neck, next to their home.

Rishie Mohabir, 10, was a student of Crabwood Creek Primary School.

According to his mother, Darshanie Roopnarine, she left him home as she ventured a few villages away to catch fish, which she would normally do. She said initially the boy wanted to go fishing with her but she told him to stay home and fly his kite. She also noted that she told the lad to eat when he became hungry and watch his cartoons until she returned, which he agreed too.
