Teen feared dead after allegedly falling out of boat

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is currently investigating the death of a 13-year-old girl who allegedly drowned at Port Kaituma Riverfront, North West District (NWD), on Thursday.
The teen has been identified as Dellyssa Ramitt, a student at North West Secondary School.
According to reports, at about 13:00h on Thursday, Ramitt along with her sister and brother-in-law left home for their farm in a wooden boat powered by a 75 Yamaha outboard engine with Jairam Samsundar as the captain.
Sources reveal that on their way to the farm, waves generated by a passing speed boat caused Samsundar’s vessel to tilt. Unfortunately, this sudden movement resulted in Ramitt, positioned towards the bow of the boat, falling into the river and subsequently going under the water.
Despite efforts to locate her, these attempts proved futile. A search continued on Friday but there were no signs of the teen’s body.
