Police have released six of the eight workers of the popular music artiste, Davido arrested for questioning over the death of his three-year-old Ifeanyi Adeleke.
As gathered by Thelibrationnews, the police revealed that the next step might be to carry out an autopsy to ascertain it truly Ifeanyi died as a result of drowning in a swimming pool
A source who craved anonymity explained it was a norm for the police to carry out an autopsy in such a case, but noted that, the exercise is subjected to the consent of the family.
“Though the family members are not saying anything yet because they are still in shock but until anybody says stop, the standard procedure is to conduct an autopsy and we are going to follow that procedure just like in any case of death,” the source said.
Explaining further about the continued detention of the nanny and cool, the source said, “It was the work of the nanny to take care of the child (Ifeanyi); the nanny was negligent or how could the boy have left the house without her knowledge?
“The boy left the house, walked to the back where the swimming pool is situated and fell into the swimming pool. Nobody noticed until much later. At that point in time, he had drowned and was at the bottom of the swimming pool.
“So, they brought him out and rushed him to the Lagoon Hospital, where the doctors tried unsuccessfully to revive him. They left the hospital and rushed the boy to Evercare Hospital, where he was declared dead.
“They have deposited his corpse in the mortuary for an autopsy to reveal the cause of death. All the domestic workers at home when the incident happened have been questioned by the police but only the nanny and cook were detained.”
