Eleven-year-old Chitwrattie Rohan (Fareena) was allegedly choked to death by her 12-year-old relative while engaging in a ‘play fight’ yesterday morning at her grandfather’s Martyrs’ Ville home on the East Coast of Demerara.
According to relatives the 12-year-old is assisting with the investigation. The children’s grandfather told Stabroek News yesterday that he was out when the incident occurred, however, when he returned home, he saw Rohan lying on the ground. He asked what had happened and relatives said that the two cousins, “play fight, not really a serious fight.” They added that a family member tried to get them to stop at which point she fell and was unresponsive. The grandfather then performed Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation on her. He then placed her in his car, and accompanied by other relatives, took her to a private hospital but it was closed so he ended up taking her to the Beterverwagting Health Centre where she later died.
