The lifeless bodies of two women were pulled from Feather Beach at Lima Sands on the Essequibo Coast on Sunday after they were reported missing.

Dead: Kawattie Lallbacchan
Based on reports reaching Guyana Times, the women, who have three children each, were among family members who visited a popular location in Lima Sands. However, after some time in the water, the women were not seen and an alarm was raised.
After hours of searching, one of the women was found and shortly after the other was found submerged in the water. They were both rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital where they were pronounced dead.
Back on October, the body of a dryer operator attached to the Hack Rice Mill, Essequibo Coast, was pulled from the Essequibo River – one day after he went missing whilst swimming to shore after mooring a boat at Hamburg Beach.
He was identified as 25-year-old Humal Jaggernauth also called “Avinash” of Lot 3 Spring Gardens, Essequibo Coast.
It was reported that the young man and his family travelled to the Hamburg Beach via a wooden boat for an outing. However, on arrival at the beach, the family members exited and went ashore while Jaggernauth and an uncle remained to moor the boat.
Dead: Akeisha Tyrel
After doing so, the young man and his uncle began to swim towards other family members but only the uncle made it to shore. After realising that he had disappeared, a search party was launched but after several hours, his body was not found.
The search continued the next morning and within the first hour, Jaggernauth’s body was pulled from the river.
