A three-year-old boy died when a metal gate fell on him on Tuesday evening in Couva. Zuri Waleed Singh of Railway Road, Dow Village, California suffered head injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Couva District Health Facility around 5.40 pm.

 

According to reports, the little boy, who attended Country Lane Kindergarten at Mc Bean, Couva, had gone to Thalia Road, Roystonia Gardens around 5 pm with his parents Reesha Mohammed-Singh and Durvijay Singh.
