Kaieteur News – A 45-year-old man who was reported missing three days ago, on Wednesday, was found dead just a few houses away from his home at Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.

The deceased has been identified as Dwayne Quacy Robertson, of Lot 41 Trotman Street, Golden Grove Market Road. He was the father of six children. His body was discovered at the Nabaclis Side-line Dam, hidden in high grass. Around 06:00 hrs, his family was alerted that his remains were found.

Robertson was last seen on Sunday evening, and his family made an official missing person’s report on Monday at the Cove and John Police Station. His relatives, shocked at the discovery, believe that his body may have been dumped at the location since they frequently pass through that route, which is also commonly used by residents.

His sister, Tamica Glasgow, tearfully recounted to Kaieteur News the last time she saw her brother. She said Robertson was acting strangely when she returned home from church on Sunday. “I tried talking to him and he was talking as though he was going mad,” she explained. Later that night, they learned he had fallen at a shop and hit his head, but since he appeared fine afterward, they did not think much of it. Around midnight, he asked their younger sister to accompany him to buy icecream, but since shops were closed, she gave him money instead. “She was sitting at home waiting for him; we didn’t see him come back afterwards,” Glasgow said.

On Monday, the family began searching for him. “We keep asking people if they see him and they say no. So, we are thinking that something is not right. But persons say that they saw him heading up to the sea wall, she we searched there and keep searching for him. Somebody else call and say they saw him in Ann’s Grove and we took two vehicles and went to search for him but we didn’t find him,” the distraught sister explained.

She stressed that the spot where Robertson’s body was eventually found could have easily been noticed during earlier searches. “This morning (Wednesday), persons call me that they found him on the side lines, not far from where we are living. When I go and visit the scene, everyone could easily pass and see the body. It’s like if you are living through a street or living on a dam and a lot of persons passing a lot by the dam and houses are there. He was not found deep in the bush; he was found right at the side where you have to pass. Since you look, you see the body” she said.

Glasgow stated that when she examined his body, it appeared as though it had been placed there rather than naturally decomposing into the grass. “He wasn’t looking right because if someone is not well and they fall into a bush, you must see that the body was clinging on to the grass. He lying there with his hand fold and has money in his hand, his face was swollen, his head was swollen,” she said.

She further stated that her niece, who was passing through the area earlier, was warned by a man not to walk near the spot where Robertson’s body was later found.  “Yesterday (Tuesday) when she was going to look at that direction, it had a boy at a side and telling her she can’t go over that side. It looked as though someone just dumped his body there,” Glasgow claimed.

The grieving sister also revealed that Robertson had previously been threatened by a man who lived near their home. “I know of one individual from in front where I am living, is every night he would curse and saying that he (Robertson) got to dead. Every night this man keeps calling my brother’s name saying that my brother got to dead,” she claimed.

Glasgow said she made several reports about these threats to the Cove and John Police Station, but no action was taken. “I went to the station on different occasions, last year, July and again this month. In July when I gave them a statement, they say that they were going to call me and after I realised that they went calling me, I went back to the station and one of the police in a big position told me they don’t have stationeries and supplies and when they have, he said, he will make contact with me because he said that the matter was going up to the court and that was the end of it. After then I heard nothing of it and I went back to the station this month and is the same thing. The police didn’t make any effort to find him until he was found dead,” she said through tears.

Despite the pain, Glasgow remembered her brother as a kind and loving man. “It is very hard to accept this. It feels like the law has failed us. But I will leave it up to God,” she said.

Meanwhile, Regional Commander and Assistant Commissioner Khali Pareshram, said police are investigating the matter.
