A Chase Village couple is blaming the loud explosion of fireworks and the inaction by the police for the death of their three-day-old baby, Kemani Gordon.
Gordon's father, Nicholas Badal, 29, said loud explosions began rocking their Bholai Street East home from as early as 7 am on Divali night. He said the culprits were members of his own community joining in festivities.
"Whole night the child jump, jump, jump. Jump and bawl. Jump and bawl. I don't know if he couldn't have take it no more."
