The Bhagwandin family, realizing that they needed closure, and that there is no way that their missing loved one, Lakeram Bhagwandin may still be alive, has conducted a funeral ceremony in his honour.
According to the fisherman’s mother, Margaret Bhagwandin, it is not possible for her son to still be alive and not make contact with his family, thus, she is forced to believe that her son is dead.
The woman during a telephone interview with Kaieteur News said that as hard as it was for her to conduct her son’s last rites, it was the right thing to do, as she was advised that her son’s soul may not rest in peace if his body is never recovered.
It was alleged that the 32-year-old Foulis, Enmore resident had been “tripping out”. He 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 someone witnessed Lakeram actually jumping off the vessel, his mother, Margaret Bhagwandin had maintained that she does not believe that her son would just jump off a boat in the middle of nowhere.
However, it was alleged that the 32-year-old fisherman jumped off the fishing trawler named the “Noble Sun” some 17 miles off Charity and about 25 miles off the mouth of the Pomeroon River in early April last. Hours after the incident, Bhagwandin’s family, while clinging to some sort of hope, had ventured out to scour the rough Pomeroon waters for his body, but returned to the shores empty handed.
