– Vehicle found abandoned hours later

The police are investigating a suspected abduction of a 21-year-old woman, who was allegedly forced into a car at knife-point in the presence of her mother and brother at Zeelugt New Scheme, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) two Mondays ago.
Fazeema Zabar was heading home from a police station with her mother, Nazeema and brother when a white Toyota 212, with two men inside, stopped near them.
According to information received, a man with dreadlocks exited the car and put a knife to the young woman’s neck and dragged her into the vehicle after which the men sped away, leaving her mother and sibling desperately shouting for help.
Since then, Nazeema Zabar said that she has not heard from her daughter and is worried that something terrible might have happened to the young woman, who works as a sales girl two villages away from their home.
While the police have been given a name of a suspect, they have not been able to make contact with him. It is believed he was the driver of a getaway car which was allegedly found abandoned in Tuschen Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo, a few hours later.

Missing: Fazeema Zabar

A police source yesterday said that while they are investigating the case as a kidnapping scheme, they are also looking at other possibilities, including a fake plot hatched by two lovers.
The source said that they have a name of one of the “suspected kidnappers” but have not been able to locate the individual.
Kaieteur News understands that the suspect and the young woman were once friends but things turned sour when he reportedly took her to an abandoned house in an isolated area in October, 2016.
That matter has been reported to the police and according to her mother, the cops never caught him.
Relatives alleged that at around 23:00 hrs on October 9, 2016, Fazeema Zabar had just finished work and was heading home when she was offered a lift by the suspect.
Reports are that the two met when she was working at a fast-food outlet and started talking and later exchanged numbers.
Her mother said that the young woman took the drop but the suspect failed to take her home. Instead, he took her to a house, broke her phone and made sexual advances to her daughter.
“What happen is that while he was driving, she passed her father on the road and she called out for him but he didn’t hear. Her father eventually called her phone and like she and he were fighting up with the phone and she answer and say he (driver) taking her away and then the call cut.”
According to Nazeema Zabar, her daughter then made contact with her the following day at 01:00 in the morning and told her the driver took her away somewhere in Ruby.
The young lady allegedly told her mother that she was able to make the call because the suspect had fallen asleep.
Kaieteur News understands that the cops were able to locate the young lady later that day but the suspect allegedly escaped.
However, on January 22, last, Fazeema was at a wedding when the same man allegedly showed up and grabbed her. Friends purportedly rescued her and took her home.
The following day, she and her mother and brother went to the station to make a report. It was on their way home that she was allegedly abducted.
Her mother said that the suspect is married and has a child but seemed obsessed with her daughter. The woman said that the suspect has even tattooed her daughter’s name on his hand.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Fazeema Zabar can contact her mother on 690-9382 or the nearest police station.
