Teen feared dead after plunging into Kara Kara Creek

Relatives of 14-year-old Kenneitha Angela Graves of Lot 24 Kara Kara, Linden have been left in a state of despair on Saturday after she reportedly plunged into the Kara Kara Creek and never resurfaced.
Greaves had reportedly gone to the creek for a swim at about 10:00h. The Police have said that the teen had left home at about 09:30h unknowing to her mother, and had gone to a house at Lower Kara Kara where she normally goes to play with children living there.

Devika, whose house the teen would normally visit, has said the teen was standing by a creek located at the back of her yard when she told the teen, “If you cannot swim, move from next to the creek.”
Devika has said she left the teen standing there, and was about to go into her home when she heard someone shouting, “Help! Help!”.
As such, she rushed to the scene, and saw the teen in the water, helpless and sinking.
Devika said she began to shout for help, because she does not know how to swim either, and a short while after, the teen’s body sank under the water.
She said that persons in the area rushed to the creek and immediately started to search for the teen, but the strong current in the creek prevented them from locating her.
An investigation of this incident is underway.
Only about a month ago, 17-year-old Nazana Samaroo of Lot 33 Little Diamond Squatting Area, East Bank Demerara drowned while swimming at a creek at Wismar, Linden.
