A toddler, left unattended, drowned in the Lower Pomeroon River yesterday, according to the Guyana Police Force.
The Police said that the incident occurred just about 9:30 am after 21-month old Jeremiah Rodrigues was left at home alone with his two-month-old sibling.
The children’s mother, Dacia Torres, told investigators that she left their Grant Kitty, Lower Pomeroon home just about 8:30 am and went to work a short distance away. About an hour later her sister raised an alarm that Rodrigues was “floating in the trench”.
