Missing fisherman relatives return empty-handed
– CID takes over search
After venturing out to the Pomeroon River in search of the missing fisherman who allegedly jumped off
Missing: Lakeram Bhagwandin
of a vessel last week Tuesday, the family members of 32-year-old Lakeram Bhagwandin remain distraught after returning empty-handed.
It was alleged that the Foulis Enmore resident had been “tripping out” and got involved in an argument after which he was taken to rest in a cabin from where he disappeared a short while after.
While it is still unclear as to whether or not someone witnessed Lakeram actually jumping off of the vessel, his mother, Margaret Bhagwandin maintained that she does not believe that her son would just jump off of a boat in the middle of nowhere.
As of Thursday morning last, Bhagwandin’s family, clinging to some sort of hope, ventured out to scour the rough Pomeroon waters for his body.
The incident occurred whilst the man was on board the “Noble Sun”, a fishing trawler traversing some 17 miles off Charity and about 25 miles off the mouth of the Pomeroon River.
According to the man’s brother, Bisram Bhagwandin, the matter has been handed over to the CID at Charity, Essequibo.
Young Bhagwandin added that the owner of the vessel, Rasiawan Doodnauth, has been continuously assisting them in their search. He is also financing the search for Lakeram, or his body, on the family’s behalf.
