Mum of drowned Townsville boys to faces court over sons' manslaughter

The mother of two young boys who drowned in a swollen river is expected to face a court in north Queensland.

Leanne Eatts, 47, was charged with manslaughter on Friday after the bodies of her sons Barak Austral, 5, and Jhulio Sariago, 3, were found submerged in Townsville's Ross River.Flooding had caused havoc in Townsville earlier in the month and the river was still high and dangerous. Their bodies were discovered the following morning in a steep and deep cutaway of the river in Cranbrook.On Friday, Detective Dave Miles said Ms Eatts was solely responsible for her sons' preventable deaths on the day the boys wandered off alone and drowned.

"There is no way these boys should have been left the way they were, or ... allowed to go down to the river," he said."Certainly their deaths under appropriate parental supervision would have been averted." Det Miles said it was not an isolated event but a"systemic behaviour" by their mother and the lack of supervision.Eatts will face Townsville Magistrate Court on Saturday on charges which also include drug trafficking charges including supplying dangerous drugs to a minor.
