LITTLE BAY, Westmoreland — A football coach remains in custody pending further investigation after the result of a post-mortem on the body of an eight-year-old boy — who was believed to have drowned on Saturday, July 31— found that he was sodomised and his neck broken.
A senior police officer told the Observer that the post-mortem failed to conclusively provide the cause of Kevis Limmoth's death, however the coach remains behind bars since last Wednesday as the police continue their probe.

Last Thursday, the mother of the little boy, a distressed Egolyn Limmoth, recounted that on the afternoon of July 31 she became concerned after repeatedly calling her son and not getting any response.
Limmoth explained that a search of their fishing village for her only son proved futile, but later his clothes and his kite were seen strewn on a rock close by the sea.
The teary-eyed mother recalled that her worst fears materialised after her son was fished from the sea by a search party from the community.
"Since that time I don't know myself. I have not eaten, drank anything and find it very hard to sleep," Limmoth cried.
She explained that on Wednesday morning last week she was gradually overcoming the trauma and beginning to accept that her son had drowned, only to be struck with another painful blow after the post-mortem result was made
