Nov 23, 2011 News

A husband and wife from Charity Housing Scheme, Region Two, died after a truck toppled yesterday at Buck Hall.
Reportedly dead are Stacy Ann DeFreitas and her husband, Kurt.
While reports were sketchy, Kaieteur News understands that the two were in the truck with others heading to a gold dredging operations at Buck Hall, located in the backdams of Region Two.
Tony Persaud, said to be the truck owner’s son; Edward Savory, 38, of Adventure; Rohit Narine, 30, of HuisT’Dieren, were admitted to the Suddie Public Hospital, Essequibo Coast.
Reports are De Freitas, Kurt and her nephew, 19-year-old Carlos Benn were traveling in the truck when it overturned.
Rita Benn, De Freitas’s mother, was inconsolable, and said she learnt of the tragic loss when she received a phone call from a woman in the Buck Hall area on Tuesday afternoon. Rita said all she was told is that the truck that her daughter was in and the injured was traveling in “toppled over”.
Police have since gone into the area and are conducting investigations, this newspaper learnt.
