– Father refutes report about $40M ransom demand
– Intensive investigations launched by the Police

The Police are investigating the kidnapping of 21-year-old Roreema Dookie, the daughter of the owner of Natoo’s Liquor and Beer Garden located on Pike Street, Kitty.

Roreema was reportedly kidnapped around 20:00 hrs Wednesday night shortly after she left classes at the International Business College on Thomas Street, Georgetown.

Beharry Dookie, popularly called ‘Nathoo’ told the Guyana Chronicle today (Thursday) that he never received a ransom demand for the safe return of his daughter following her abduction on Wednesday night.

ABDUCTED: Roreema Dookie

I never receive a call for ransom and I don’t know where the newspapers got that news from,” he angrily stated.

The owner of Nathoo’s Liquor Restaurant and Grocery, whose daughter was abducted from her boyfriend’s car on Thomas Street, Georgetown, said they are presently working collaboratively with the police in monitoring the telephone calls at his home.

Beharry said he just wants his daughter back home where she belongs.

There, a group of friends and relatives had converged to lend support to the Beharrys who were anxiously awaiting word on their daughter’s whereabouts.

Beharry added that his daughter left home for classes at the International Business College at 5:00 pm Wednesday and when her classes ended at 8:00 pm she had her boyfriend, Joel Oudkerk waiting for her there.

It was when she was in his car that the girl was reportedly abducted and bundled into a waiting vehicle by unidentified men who, according to reports, beat Oudkerk until he was semi-conscious.

He has since received medical attention and is assisting the police with investigations.

The gunmen then sped off with Roreema, who had returned to Guyana on Tuesday after a vacation in Canada.

Dookie is enrolled in the Quantitative Methods (Association of Business Education) class and is in the diploma level at the International Business College.

She joined the school in July and attended classes only on Wednesdays.
