One man has been ar­rest­ed fol­low­ing the trag­ic death of An­gel­i­ca Jo­gie at Pi­geon Point yes­ter­day.

The sev­en-year-old girl was struck by a jet ski while play­ing in the area des­ig­nat­ed for bathing with her par­ents and oth­er rel­a­tives. She lat­er died at the Scar­bor­ough Hos­pi­tal.

Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent Rod­hill Kirk told Guardian Me­dia this morn­ing that po­lice had ar­rest­ed a sus­pect and im­pound­ed the jet ski.

Asked whether the sus­pect sur­ren­dered, Kirk replied, “The po­lice de­tained the sus­pect.”

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.

Yes­ter­day, Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine called on the jet ski op­er­a­tor to turn him­self in.

He al­so ap­pealed to the rel­a­tives of the jet ski op­er­a­tor to con­tact the po­lice.

“The per­pe­tra­tor is still at large. I want to ap­peal to the fam­i­ly mem­bers and friends of the jet ski op­er­a­tor. You should not be hid­ing from TTPS. You need to say ex­act­ly what tran­spired and how the jet ski end­ed up in the zone des­ig­nat­ed for bathers,” he said.
