Missing: Basil Domingo

Prominent gold and diamond miner Mrs. Cyrilda DeJesus, to whose niece Domingo was married, said that the middle-aged man has been missing since late last year when he went into the interior to do gold mining.
“He left last year.. Christmas come and we ent hear nothing from he. He is a man who does usually call me whenever he is away for a while. He got lost or they kill him we don’t know.”
She said that she made a report about Domingo’s disappearance to the Police late last year, but they told her that she must go and find out who Domingo had gone to work with and where he was working.
“I gave the Policeman that name and the location, somewhere in the Mazaruni, and up to now I ent hear nothing from them,” she said.
She explained that the man, once married to her niece, fathered two children with her niece but they had divorced and that the woman and children were living in England.
She said that it was extremely painful for her when the two children called to find out where their father was or whether anything had been learnt about his fate.
“They love their father and the uncertainty is hurting them,” she added.
She said that she wished that she could call the children and tell them that their father was alive and well.
“They would be very glad.”
De Jesus said that it was not the first time that she knew about people who had gone into the interior and had disappeared.
“Dey got many cases where people getting lost in the bush and dey family and parents ent hearing nothing from them.”
She is urging miners to make sure that they collect details about people who work with them , their correct names (not call names) their correct address, whether they are married and have children or not, and the names of their parents, so that they could be easier traced if they disappear.
She is calling on anyone who may know about the location or fate of Basil Domingo to get in touch with her via her telephone # 226-9859.
