Two more missing in Suriname waters
A Guyanese couple who left home early Monday to fish in Suriname waters just off Nickerie are missing, and relatives fear the worst.
Michael Stanley has been fishing in Suriname’s waters using a small boat and engine for the past five years. At daybreak on Monday morning, he left on his regular trip to the sea, but this time, his wife, Anjanie Ramcoomar, decided to join him.

According to Ramcoomar’s brother, Jaigovin, the couple has not been seen since.
On a regular day, Stanley would spend between six-eight hours at sea, and so when the couple did not return home by Monday evening, worry stepped in. They had left their two grown daughters, Tricia and Priya, at home.
Ramcoomar also has a sister, Radhika, and a brother, Naresh, living not too far from the house the couple rented for the past five years.
According to Ramcoomar’s brother, Jaigovin, the couple are known to “go and come” from Suriname over the years. Their intention was to settle back in Guyana, but when the couple’s son and his common-law wife were murdered in August 2003, the couple decided to head back to Suriname.
When the couple did not return home on Monday evening, relatives and fishermen launched a search but have so far come up empty-handed and are now only left to speculate as to what could have gone wrong.
Surinamese Police joined the search operation on Wednesday, using helicopters to search the river, relatives said, but there has been no sign of the boat or the couple.
