“It is very hard to deal with my son’s disappearance. Sometimes I sit and ask the Lord to take me instead of my son.” Those were the desperate cries of Salimoon Rahaman, the mother of 10-year-old Ricky Jainarine, who went missing after the boat in which he was traveling collided with another vessel.
The woman said that since her son’s disappearance she has been trying very hard to cope with the circumstances.
At present the woman is praying that two bags containing clothing and bones which were discovered by a hunter at Wakenaam may bring the mystery of what happened to her 10 year old son to an end.
The woman yesterday told this newspaper that a hunter had stumbled upon two bags containing bones and clothing suspected to have belonged to her son. Her son went missing in August 11, last after the boat in which he was traveling collided with another.
The child’s father Jainarine Dinanauth, 45, and a friend Henry Gibson died; the two bodies were discovered the next morning in the boat.
The woman said she returned to the police station yesterday and handed over the hunter’s telephone number.
“The police call de man who see these bags and he tell them he gon be available until Sunday,” Rahaman explained. The distraught mother, who could barely hold back her tears, said that the hunter had told her that he saw two ‘salt’ bags. She said that one bag contained the remains of which is suspected to be her young son and the other bag, she said, contained a black face mask, gloves and the child’s checkered three- quarters pants.
“I know it’s my son because of the description I get about the clothes,” Rahaman said.
She said that if the body, which was seen, is her son; this would bring closure to the family who has been mourning for the past four months.
“I really want it to be my son. If it is my son I can now have a funeral and it would bring closure”.
After her son’s disappearance the family searched relentlessly to find the remains of the lad. The family believes that the three coast guards who were charged for the murder of Dweive Kant Ramdass, a Parika businessman, are culpable.
Ramdass’s partly nude remains bore marks of violence to the neck and back.
The three coast guard ranks had allegedly confessed to strangling 23-year-old Ramdass and dumping his body near Caiman Hole.
The family also believes that the coast guard ranks had intentionally collided with the boat and robbed and killed the men. An investigation revealed that blue paint was found on the coast guard’s green boat.
