Police have expressed concern over the drowning of a one-year-old baby while under the care of his grandmother.

The incident, according to police spokesman Suliano Tevita, occurred at a village in Rewa.

The boy’s grandmother found the toddler’s body only minutes later, floating in a nearby pond.

Police have renewed their advise to all parents to be more vigilant in taking care of their children to avoid such incidences.
