–after ‘apparent’ break-in at workplace

RELATIVES of 63-year-old Bisundial Vasques, called ‘Gardener’, are worried about his safety following an apparent robbery at his workplace, and his subsequent disappearance.

Vasques, a father of three of Friendship, East Bank Demerara, was the caretaker of a farm at Silicone Green on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, and was last seen on Monday, May 8.

His daughters, Dularie ‘Reshma’ Bisundial and Hema Mattan, told the Guyana Chronicle on Monday that when they visited the worksite, they could see that the hinges were off the door of the building, and heard how a number of items were missing, including two outboard engines and a solar panel.

They said the place also appeared ransacked, and that police have since concluded that there was a robbery.

Furthermore, the women found their father’s slippers, shovel and bag at the site.

According to them, the owner of the facility, Kiran Persaud, lodged a Missing Person’s report at Timehri Police Station last Wednesday.

The family is not very pleased at the effort of the police to investigate the matter, and has formed their own search team.
