A post-mortem examination performed on the remains of two-year-old Radain Wilson of El Dorado Village, West Coast Berbice who was locked in a car on Monday showed that he died of a sunstroke.
And the woman, Mayfield Babb-Fraser, 55, who forgot him in her AT 212 Toyota Carina motorcar, PLL 3761 for over three hours, has been released from police custody. She was placed on $50,000 station bail.
Police sources told this newspaper that they have prepared the file to send to Director of Public Prosecutions for advice on how to proceed.
Reports are that Radain left home at around 8 am with his mother, Corletta ‘Teacher Peps’ Wilson, a teacher at Belladrum Primary School and got a ride in the car.
The mother arrived at her school first and reminded the woman, whom she knew very well, to drop her son at his school in the next village.
Babb-Fraser, a former headmistress who is engaged in a voluntary counselling and testing programme apparently forgot all about the child and passed his school.
She drove to the Rosignol Health Centre, parked in the compound and closed up the car, still without realizing that the child was in the backseat.
She then went about her daily routine thinking that her child was safe at school. Around 9:30 am, a parent missed the child at the playschool and went over to the mother’s school to inform her that he was not there.
