In an act of ultimate sacrifice, a grandmother pushed her only grandchild to safety before she was swept away in the Matura River.

Forty-seven-year-old Tara Lochansingh remains missing, a day after she disappeared in the river.

Lochansingh, of Navet Village, Rio Claro, had gone to Matura River on Friday with family members, when at around 4 p.m., she got into difficulties while bathing with her five-year-old granddaughter.
