"She was a loving mother" Kekava residents are shocked by the tragedy and do not believe that the mother was able to kill her child

“Such love for both of her husband. Or for days. Rarely does a mother take care of a baby like her,” says a neighbor. “She was a loving mother who rode with her baby to groups. She went to the playground right here in Ramava. She made friends with the children. All their lives are fantastically arranged, the baby is happy, everything is fine there.”

Mom Laura used to work as a teacher in table tennis. Since the birth of the daughter, the woman went on parental leave. Yesterday morning, they both got in the KIA CEED and disappeared for several hours. Relatives anxiously called the police.

The woman has disappeared since 10 o’clock in the morning. Police have obtained information about her possible locations. While visiting the area, a woman’s car was found in which Laura was sitting alone. Inspectors noticed that the woman was under the influence of intoxicants and called the doctors who took her to the hospital.

The location of the daughter was unknown. However, a child’s body was soon found 40 to 50 meters away from the car in the Daugava coastal water. Police have begun questioning people to find out under what circumstances the child drowned and what the mother was doing at the time.

Meanwhile, the residents of Rāmava village are convinced that an accident has occurred. “No one has deliberately gone and killed anyone there. It’s just a very big tragedy for everyone right now.

For Lauriņa, this is her first child and she goes for a walk, goes to the gym in the morning on the square with her. She is definitely not a killer. Maybe she fell into the water to some depth and Laura tried to save her, but unsuccessfully and maybe at that moment she was shocked, “says one of Laura ‘s neighbors.

Meanwhile, a woman living on the bank of the Daugava near Laura’s favorite place to walk believes that it could not have been an accident: “My grandchild is growing up here. I just started walking, we feed the ducks. It is impossible to drown if the mother is nearby.”

Contrary to the convictions of many villagers, the police today managed to find out details that show that the girl’s death is not an accident.

Commenting on what happened, psychologist Sanita Paula says: “There must have been a crisis situation before that has accumulated this extreme decision-making here. There has probably been a whole series of events before a person makes such an extreme decision.”
