Corrientes province Police sources said that the two boys, whose surname is Cuevas, played along Santa Lucía stream, 300 hundred metres away from their home.The water in the stream is dark and full of water hyacinths, thus making visibility harder.
A lurking alligator attacked the child as his brother ran home to ask for help. The 7 year old received critical injuries in his neck and died before medical services could arrive.
