Cuyuni River mishap…Last victim’s body recovered

May 31, 2013 News

 

The body of Seon Robertson, 39, of Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam and formerly of Cumberland, East Canje, and  Strand, New Amsterdam, was recovered from the Cuyuni River in a decomposed state about 15:00 hrs yesterday.
The father of seven was discovered days after the boating accident from which three of the seven passengers survived. The bodies of the three other victims – Junior Bandhu 35, of Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, William Patoir of New Amsterdam, Berbice, and  Clive Welcome, 19, of First Avenue, Bartica  -have already been recovered.
According to Sanita Singh, called Sano, her reputed husband left home on January 22 to work in the interior. She said that it was the first time that the man had gone there to work. He previously worked at various places in Berbice, including a Sawmill in Stanleytown.
She said the need to provide a better way of life for his children drove him to leave home and seek employment in the interior. He was coming out for the first time with his brother-in-law David Prass and friend William Patoir when tragedy struck.
His father, Ronald Robertson, called Robby, has been travelling along the river almost daily since word of the tragedy spread. He had left Berbice yesterday morning on one of his tiring trips and was at Parika when he got word that his son’s badly decomposed body was found. He left immediately for Bartica.
