Missing farm labourer’s body found

Jul 09, 2013 News

 

Police have recovered the body of 35-year-old Sasenarine Persaud, who disappeared under bizarre circumstances last month at Hogg Island, Essequibo.
A relative of Seepersaud’s told Kaieteur News yesterday that his partly decomposed body was found at around 23:00 hrs on Saturday in the Essequibo River, near Supenaam.
Kaieteur News was told that the remains were taken to the Suddie Hospital Mortuary and a post mortem is scheduled for today.
Relatives said that they were skeptical about reports that Seepersaud, of Cove and John, East Coast Demerara, ran away on June 25 from a farm on which he was working and jumped overboard.
Seepersaud, called ‘Boyo’, had traveled to Hogg Island on Tuesday, June 22, in the company of a Hogg 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 (June 23 and June 24), and then on Tuesday he run away.” Kaieteur News was told that the employer told relatives that Seepersaud, had drowned.
The 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 the body would eventually float up.
The relatives aid that they have since made a report at the Cove and John Police Station, Brickdam Police Station and at Leonora.
