Kaieteur News – A cook was on Wednesday killed after a tree fell on her at Neesano Backdam, North West District. The dead woman, who was a mother of two, has been identified as Domelley Cyrus, of Yarrowkabra, Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
According to a police report, the incident occurred around 14:00 hrs. at a mining camp owned by Trevor Ammon. He operates a four-inch dredge at Neesano Backdam.
Reports are that on January 9, the 32-year-old woman started working with the man as a cook at his camp.

Upon arriving at the scene, Ammon reported that he saw the woman lying face up, covered by the fallen tree. After managing to remove the tree, a report was made to the Matthew’s Ridge Police Station. The woman was taken to the Port Kaituma District Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor. Reports are that she received injuries about her head.
Her body was taken to the Port Kaituma Mortuary, where it is awaiting a post mortem examination.
Cyrus leaves to mourn her two children and her husband.
