1-Y-O crushed to death by tractor driven by father

One-year-old Talesh Bhudram of Canal Number One, West Bank Demerara (WBD), was on Thursday crushed to death by a tractor driven by his father.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the father of the child alleged that he had left him sitting on the front step of the house before driving the motor tractor out of the yard and onto an access path next to the home.
After disembarking from the tractor and while walking back into the yard, he reportedly observed the child lying motionless on the ground with injuries to his head and body.
As such, the emergency medical technicians (EMTs) attached to the La Grange Fire Service were contacted and pronounced the child dead at the scene.
The aggrieved father was taken into custody pending further investigation. Upon his arrest, a breathalyser test was conducted on the father, but there were traces of alcohol in his system.
