A female toddler and her dad are both hospitalized after the man allegedly administered a poisonous substance to the baby’s tea and then ingested the same in the wee hours of Tuesday (today) at their East Coast Demerara (ECD) home.
According to a brief statement from the cops, the incident occurred around 00:20h.
“The man told police that with the recent death of his wife via suicide in February, he was burdened with the care of their offspring – all toddlers – and he could not cope. Both their conditions are regarded as stable, while they remain in a medical facility under observation.”
