A year after her son was electrocuted while picking breadfruits, Maureen Brathwaite is still feeling the pain of that loss.
On the anniversary of Rashaun’s death on July 11, she held a memorial service last week Sunday and erected a plaque where he died in their Apes Hill, Baywoods, St James district.
Speaking to the DAILY NATION next to the breadfruit tree where he lost his life, the mother of seven said she could still remember all the details of that fateful day when Rashaun was summoned by his friend, Rohan, to pick breadfruits for Rohan’s elderly mother.
“He told me he going and pick the breadfruits and I said, ‘Go long and come back. Remember yuh got yuh child’. I didn’t know those would be the last words to my son on that day,” she sadly recalled. (MB)
