Two Region Two families are mourning the deaths of two mothers who drowned on Sunday at Feather Beach in Region Two. Dead are Akeesia Tyrell, 24, of La Belle Alliance and Kawattie Lallbachan, 25, of Lot 77 Anna Regina. The incident reportedly occurred around 15:00 hours Sunday afternoon.
Tyrell, a mother of three children, who would have celebrated her birthday tomorrow, was on an outing with her family, when she went missing.
Cousin of Tyrell, Meeksia Simon, said she was swimming when she realised she could no longer see her cousin. She said that she could not recall the exact time, but knew it was like two hours after they arrived at Feather Beach.
“My cousin was having fun with her children and husband. I don’t know what went wrong,” Simon said.
Meanwhile, Lallbachan’s brother Sunil Persaud said that his sister had been visiting with him for a few months at his Anna Regina home.
Weeping, Persaud said, the mother of three was “from Wales, but she came to live with us. She separated from her child father…” Persaud said he could not believe she was no more.
The women were taken to the Suddie Public Hospital where they were pronounced dead on arrival. Their bodies were later taken to the Suddie Mortuary to await post-mortem examinations.
