The young man resided with his parents at Blankenburg, West Coast Demerara. Relatives said that as was customary, Juman left to go see his grandmother at Ruby, East Bank Essequibo on Sunday. That’s about a 20-minute drive from his Blankenburg home.

Relatives said that when Juman did not return home around 20:00 hrs Sunday evening, they started calling his friends hoping they would know of his whereabouts, but to no avail.
The hotel’s manager said that staff members recalled seeing the young man in the company of others, but they did not take note of when he left.
The manager said that the pool was closed at around 20:30 hrs, but the pool bar remained open till about 22:00 hrs.
However, around 16:00 hrs yesterday, Mr Bhola said staff discovered the body of the young man floating in the pool. He was wearing only his swim trunks. Clothes or items that could have belonged to Juman were not recovered from the scene.
Relatives said that Juman was not known to go to the Double Day Hotel. They also said that Juman did not know how to swim.
The West Coast Demerara Police are investigating the matter.
