Fake kidnapping put neighbours against each other

Dec 06, 2011 News

 

 

While police have maintained that they are continuing to investigate the “fake” kidnapping staged by a 21-year-old woman, some Essequibians, who have been affected by the recent incident are complaining that their lives were put at risk.
They also claim that their credibility was questioned at a time when Guyana was gearing for the 2011 National elections.
An angry resident of Aurora village, from where the woman was reportedly kidnapped said that a note purportedly written by the young woman suggested that the kidnapper had demanded a ransom of $9M. The note was signed “APNU.”
The resident contended that at such a critical time in Guyana’s history, the lives of innocent supporters of APNU were put at risk.
Residents are also calling on the police to take a serious view of the matter and not just brush the engaging concern aside.”
According to reports, a 21-year-old woman from Aurora Village staged her own kidnapping recently. The  report added that after  detectives where alerted by the girl’s parents who filed a missing person report at the Aurora police station, they mounted an investigation and found  that the young woman was not kidnapped but had secured herself in the company of her paramour  at Pomona, a neighbouring Village.
The Aurora residents said that after the disappearance of the young woman, a number of vehicles had converged at her parents’ residence.
Reports are that the young woman was alerted to the situation at home and she proceeded to inform her mother about her true whereabouts, via a telephone call.
Later that day, the girl was found in the company of her boyfriend at Pomana. The police were similarly informed and both parties were detained for questioning.
Since then nothing more has happened.
