Amanie Abrahams, a three-year-old boy of 46 Cooper Street, Albouystown, lost his life in a fire today that destroyed the home he shared with his mother, Tandica Bailey, 28, and two siblings.

The fire occurred at around 01:30.

Investigations revealed that Tandica Bailey resided in a 15×10 wooden structure that rests on concrete blocks about three (3) feet off of the ground facing East on Cooper Street with her three children, ages 11, 4 and 3.

At about 07:00hrs last evening, Tandica left home to go to work on Regent Street, leaving her three children at home.

At about 01:36hrs, when she was about to head home, when she was informed that her house was on fire.

She rushed home and saw her 11-year-old and 4-year-old children who told her that after the fire started, they ran out of the house, and due to the heat, three-year-old Amanie was left behind on a bed in the room.

The Fire Service personnel and EMTs were summoned to the scene and the fire was extinguished. The remains of three-year-old Amanie Abrahams were seen in the bedroom area, burnt beyond recognition. The body was pronounced dead by Dr Ponwa at 02:31hrs today.

The remains of the three-year-old were escorted to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination. Investigations are ongoing.
