fearful that he may have come to harm.
Persaud, called ‘Buffa’, of Lot 895, Thirteenth Street, Diamond New Scheme, East Bank Demerara, disappeared on Saturday April 14. He has not been seen since and his mobile phone has been turned off.
Relatives said that Persaud was last seen in the company of another goldsmith at a night spot at Industry, East Coast Demerara. The relatives said that they were told that he eventually left in a taxi between 21:00 and 22:00 hrs, and indicated that he was heading home.
A sister told Kaieteur News that they checked at the night-spot and some staffers confirmed that he was at the location. They were also told that he had boarded a vehicle from an Industry taxi service. However, the employees at the taxi service were unable to identify the driver.
Fearing the worst, relatives checked various hospitals and even a mortuary, but have found no trace of the goldsmith. They have made reports at the Sparendaam Police Station and the Grove/Diamond Police Station.
The sister said that while he sometimes stayed out overnight after having a few drinks, Persaud would always return home the following day. She said that he did not appear to be troubled, and his belongings are all at home.
When he was last seen, Budhram Persaud was wearing a pair of grey and white three-quarter pants, light-grey t-shirt, camouflage hat and black slippers.
Persons with information about his whereabouts can call 679-2972; 668-0408; 22-65498, or the nearest police station.
