What was supposed to be a fun August vacation with her mother turned tragic when 5-year-old Juliana Gounga last Wednesday drowned in a pool of water in an old gold mining pit at Jawbone backdam, Region One.
Gounga of Orange Walk, Matthews Ridge, North West District, was a pupil of Pakera, Matthews Ridge. Investigations revealed that the child’s mother who was employed as a cook at Jawbone backdam, Baramita, North West District, took the child to spend the August holiday with her.
