Relatives fear foul play in farm labourer’s disappearance
Sasenarine Seepersaud
Relatives of Cove and John resident Sasenarine Seepersaud fear that he has fallen victim to foul play after he disappeared without a trace last month at Hog Island, Essequibo.
Seepersaud, 35, called ‘Boyo’, reportedly went missing on June 25 and close relatives say that suggestions that he drowned after plunging overboard have further aroused their suspicions.
Kaieteur News was told that Seepersaud had traveled to Hog Island on Tuesday, June 22, in the company of a Hog Island resident who wanted the man to work on his farm. Relatives said that they were told by Seepersaud’s employer that the farm-hand “worked good on Sunday and Monday, and then on Tuesday he run away.”
“He (the employer) say that ‘Boyo’ disappear and that he drown.” The farmer reportedly informed police at Parika about the incident.
The missing man’s relatives said that they were also told that ‘Boyo’ “trip out and run away because the place got nuff jumbie.” The relative said that while ‘Boyo’ would talk a lot when he was under the influence of alcohol, he was “not a madman.”
They also claimed that the missing man’s employer refused to accompany them to search for Seepersaud, since the farmer claimed that ‘Boyo’s body would eventually float up.
The missing man’s relatives said that they searched the island and the river on Friday and last Sunday, but found no trace of the missing man. “We go with 15 men and we didn’t find any trace,” one worried relative said.
The relatives said that they have since made a report at the Cove and John Police Station, and at Brickdam Police Station and Leonora.
