Inquest into deaths of three Indigenous women in Doomadgee hears tragic victim impact statements from family
Family members of three women who died from complications associated with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in the remote Gulf community of Doomadgee have given emotional victim impact statements to the inquest into their deaths.
The three young women, whose families requested they be referred to as Kaya, Ms Sandy and Betty, died in 2019 and 2020.
Outside court, Alec Doomadgee, the brother of Ms Sandy and cultural father of Kaya, said the world needed to know the women were human beings and a crucial part of their families.
