The relatives of Ramkissoon Sukhan, a fisherman of Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara, have said that they are hopeful that he would return safe.
According to reports, Sukhan went on a routine fishing trip some nine days ago and was reportedly attacked by pirates some time on Monday afternoon.
Relatives of the missing man said they were told by some of the other crew members who were rescued, that Sukhan was shot, beaten and thrown into the Atlantic Ocean some distance off the Corentyne Coast.
This publication was told that Sukhan was the boat’s captain and was pulling in the day’s catch when the gunmen struck. The other crew members claimed that after the gunmen took away their valuables they fled but soon returned and took them to another boat which then took them to land.
However relatives of the missing man said they do not believe the crewmembers’ story.
“If people attack you boat they don’t come back to you to help you. We want the police to investigate this matter properly,” one relative said.
Meanwhile, the relative said they received word that the police had found the bodies of four men somewhere in Berbice. Late last night there were reports that the report was not true.
The man’s relatives said that while they have not found a body they will remain hopeful that he is alive and well.
