LBI man mysteriously vanishes in interior while on his way home

Mar 25, 2014 News

The wife, children and other relatives of 50-year-old Eustace Beveney, called ‘Buckman’, are clinging to hope that he is still alive following his mysterious disappearance in the interior two weeks ago.
Beveney, of Onion Field, La Bonne Intention, East Coast Demerara, reportedly jumped off the truck that was transporting him and other interior workers to the city and ran into the bushes. He has not been seen or heard from since.
There are reports that Beveney, a father of six, was acting strangely, threatening persons with a cutlass shortly before he committed his vanishing act.
His worried wife, Clara, told this newspaper that she is trying to keep faith that he is still alive and will come home soon.
Kaieteur News understands that Beveney had been in the interior for the past eight months, working with a businessman at a place called ‘Sulphur Mouth’.
He last made contact with his wife in October, telling her that he was trying to come home that month end. He explained that if he could not make it then, he would definitely be home in early January.
“That was the last time I hear from him,” Clara Beveney said yesterday.
When he did not come home in January, she assumed that his work had delayed him.
She never expected receiving the news she got on Friday about her husband to whom she has been married for the past two decades.
According to Mrs. Beveney, she went home from work on Friday and was informed by her son that a ‘Mr. Green’ had called and he left a telephone number for her to contact him.
‘Mr. Green’ happens to be the owner of the truck that was transporting her husband when he was last seen.
“I asked my son what the man had told him, and he said it was about his dad,” Clara Beveney explained.
When she eventually contacted ‘Mr. Green’ he told her what the driver of the truck had reported to him.
She heard that two weeks ago her husband was coming out of the interior in the truck and was “behaving badly”, threatening persons on board the vehicle with a cutlass.
The truck driver became afraid and stopped at the first police outpost they came upon at Number 72, where the matter was reported. But according to the driver, the police, probably thinking that Beveney had a mental problem, refused to keep him there, and allowed him to remain on the truck. They however relieved him of the cutlass.
The journey continued with Beveney reportedly behaving strangely, though less threatening.
“They say when they reach Number 50, he jump off and run in the bush. They don’t know where he went,” Clara Beveney stated.
She said that she was instructed to collect her husband’s belongings which were left on the truck when he fled.
“My brother went to collect them. He told me he had bought a laptop for the children and he was bringing it; that was missing because only the two speakers were in the bag. The two cell phones were missing because only the two chargers left,” the woman told this newspaper.
“How they get my number? They had to get it from the phones,” she added.
Clara Beveney said that she does not believe that her husband had problems with anyone, since according to her, “my husband is a pleasant man.”
“When they tell me he was behaving bad, I asked the man, ‘My husband? I don’t believe that!’ and he said yes, my husband.”
She said that she has not heard from her husband’s employer but she remains hopeful that they can tell her something that would lead to clues about her husband’s whereabouts.
“I tell the children don’t take it on because your father is not dead,” she declared.
