POLICE are still unsure if any charges will be brought in connection with the 17-month-old boy who drowned in a well on Saturday.

Supt Stephen Dean said police are still in the initial stages of the investigation and cannot determine what will happen just yet.

“We are still conducting interviews and asking questions. Once that is done we will know more. This may very well be a situation that has to go to Coroner’s Court. So right now it is too early to tell. We have to wait and see,” he said.

The lifeless body of Ianno Pratt was pulled from a well around 3pm Saturday near a home where he lived with relatives.

While authorities would only say that the toddler was found in the well at a residence located at Pinedale Avenue , The Tribune understands he was with his mother, Marissa Wright, who hanging out laundry at the back of the house.

A short time later, she realized the child had wandered away and searched the area before she found him in the well.

Active investigations are continuing in this matter.
