HARARE – A two-year-old toddler yesterday fell to his death from the 10th floor of Trafalgar Court along Julius Nyerere Way in Harare’s city centre. The deceased, was said to have been playing with his five-year- old brother around 4pm in their apartment when he fell.
A resident told the Daily News the children had been left in the care of a maid.
“This place is not safe to raise up children, they are no bugler bars and the elevators stopped working many years ago,” she said.
“The maid failed to locate the toddler and looked for him all over the place. After some time, his brother then told the maid he had fallen down. It is not known how from the bed, he managed to jump over the window and fell to the ground,” she said.
A member of the crowd which gathered to witness the incident, said the toddler’s body was discovered after crows started gathering around where his body had fallen. There was a sombre mood at the building entrance as parents and relatives helplessly cried.
The building is owned by City of Harare but has been neglected for many years. Daily News
