Guyanese woman found dead on chicken farm in Barbados

Jan 27, 2009 News

The Guyana Consulate in Barbados is to meet with the management of a chicken farm on that island where, on Saturday, a Guyanese employee died in an apparent accident.
At the time, she was inside a chicken cleaning container.
Dead is 38-year-old Bibi Hasim. She was reportedly inside the container when the power was turned on, Guyana’s Honorary Consul Norman Faria stated.
Faria said that he has arranged a meeting with the management of the firm, which is located in the northern St. Lucy parish. There are several other Guyanese working on the farm, and he intends to meet with them as well.
Faria praised the work of the Barbadian police, who contacted his office and briefed him on the matter, but said he is nevertheless making what he described as “certain inquiries”, including safety measures in place with the machinery.
The Barbados police told him that they were treating it as a “tragic accident”, he said. Relatives in Guyana have been informed.
The woman worked at Star Chick Ltd in Babbs, Crab Hill, St. Lucy.
Neighbours told the Sunday Sun newspaper of Barbados that the husband of the deceased also worked at the chicken farm, but she has no other relatives in Barbados.
Personnel at the Fire Services Probyn Street, St Michael headquarters responded to a call at 08:43 hrs, and it took approximately 20 minutes to free the woman, who had already died.
