Kaieteur News- A Venezuelan woman who disappeared on February 21, 2025, is feared dead and police are conducting tests on skeletal remains found on the Mabura Trail to determine whether there is any match.

Abducted and feared dead: Miguelys Centeno

The woman had disappeared after she had asked a Brazilian man for a ride at Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD). The woman has been identified as Miguelys Centeno, who worked at a bar in Eccles, EBD.

Police on Wednesday issued a wanted bulletin for Fernando Teles Pereira, for his connection to the alleged abduction of Centeno. His last known address is in Brazil or Guyana. “If seen or anyone who has information about the whereabouts of the said wanted person, please contact the POLICE on 227-1149, 225-8196, 227-1611, 268-2329,” police said in the bulletin.

According to Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum, the skeletal remains found at Mabura is suspected to be that of the victim. The remains were recently found by a party of policemen who was on patrol at 9 Mile, Mabura Trail, Region Ten.

“Police are making earnest efforts to have the Guyana Forensics laboratory conduct DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) testing to ascertain whether the remains are those of the victim who was last seen joining the suspect’s motor truck,” Blanhum told Kaieteur News.

Centeno’s friends said that she lives in Timehri, EBD but sleeps at Diamond when she finishes a late shift just to be safe. They revealed too that the suspect and Centeno are not acquainted with each other and that she had just asked him for a lift (hitchhike) to her home. She has not been heard from since then.
