Chandramohan Ishmael called “Lionel”

THE decomposed body of Chandramohan Ishmael called “Lionel”, a farmer of Yakusari South, Black Bush Polder, was discovered in the backlands of Number 67 Village, East Berbice Corentyne.
Ishmael was reported missing one week ago. Since then, the family has been desperately searching for the father of four. His body was spotted by someone who was operating an excavator in the area on Thursday, and family members identified his remains on Friday morning.

Reports are that the man had left his home in the wee hours of Thursday morning (May 9), and was seen in the popular Three Bridge area. He then solicited a ride to the road from farmers who were making their way to the market.

As word spread of his disappearance, the man’s family received a telephone call from someone who said they saw him a few days later at Number 67 Village. However, the family searched the area but did not find him. They eventually left and offered to pay for any information in relation to the man’s whereabouts and also sought help from residents to continue the search.

On Thursday, the family once again received another dreadful telephone call indicating that the body of someone fitting the description of Ishmael was seen in the savannah area at Number 67 Village. The discovery was made by an excavator operator. The man was found with his watch and a gold band on his hands.
Ishmael was found lying on his back. Due to the state of his body, it was impossible to detect any marks of violence.

The man’s children and his sister, Golden Ishmael, travelled up to the area and confirmed that the body was indeed that of Chandramohan Ishmael. His sister told the Guyana Chronicle that her brother had a lot on his mind prior to his disappearance.
The remains were taken to the Ramoo Funeral Home where it is awaiting an autopsy.
