Police in Regional Division #9 are investigating an incident which resulted in the death of Cansius Constance, an 11-year-old Grade Six student of Hiowa Primary School and a resident of Hiowa Village, Central Rupununi.
Investigations revealed that at about 11:00hrs yesterday (Thursday), the victim was riding a horse with a rope but without a saddle when he accidentally fell off the horse’s back, and unfortunately, his left foot was hooked by the rope.
The horse then dragged him about 500 meters through a Savannah before coming to a halt. The victim’s sister, Alima Constance, an 18-year-old Farmer of Hiowa Village, went to his assistance and discovered that he was motionless. She then summoned Doctor Jason Smith, who visited the area and pronounced the 11-year-old dead. The Police examined the body, and several bruises were observed on the entire body, which is consistent with the dragging explanation that was narrated to the Police.
The body is at the Lethem Hospital’s mortuary, awaiting PME.
