Sascha Wil­son

Search­es are be­ing car­ried out for two friends who have not been seen or heard from by their loved ones since Fri­day.

While they are hope­ful that Je­re­my Ram­per­sad, 29, a labour­er, of Par­tap Trace, Are­na Vil­lage, Erin and Sham­mi Per­sad Be­har­ry of School Trace, Pa­lo Seco, will re­turn to them alive, as the days go by rel­a­tives are be­com­ing more con­cerned about their well­be­ing.

Ram­per­sad’s wife Camille Marin, 29, said her hus­band and the fa­ther of her two chil­dren left home on Fri­day night while Per­sad Be­har­ry’s broth­er Ash­meer told po­lice his broth­er left home around 8.30 that night with­out say­ing where he was go­ing.

In­ter­viewed at her Erin home yes­ter­day, Marin said her hus­band told him he want­ed to go lime with his friend. She said she left to go San­ta Flo­ra to buy some­thing to eat and when she re­turned he was still home.

“He ate. He said to­mor­row we will cook and eat and spend whole day with the chil­dren. He said ‘Love you ba­by’ and he left.” But, she did not hear from him.

“He ac­cus­tomed call­ing ad let me know he is okay. I gave him some time be­cause he was with his friend. Eleven o’clock passed. I fell asleep with the chil­dren,” she said.

She said the fol­low­ing morn­ing she saw no mes­sages or calls from him.

“I felt to my gut that some­thing was wrong.

I called his phone and it went straight to voice mail. I called his friend who he said he was go­ing to lime with. No re­sponse at all. I don’t know where he is. He is not a per­son to do this. He would call me or his mom, Marin said.

Even if his phone bat­tery died, he would get a phone, even a stranger if pos­si­ble, and call me and tell me he is okay, and ask about the chil­dren.”

She said on Sun­day they made a miss­ing per­sons re­port at the San­ta Flo­ra Po­lice Sta­tion and she con­tact­ed a Face­book group to as­sist in the search.

She was told a ve­hi­cle picked up her hus­band and his friend at School Road on Fri­day night.

Marin said her hus­band would nev­er stay away for so long with­out con­tact­ing her.

“We live with our two chil­dren.My mind his blank. I don’t know what to think. I know he is the kind of per­son not to do these things. Some­thing is wrong. He is not the kind to do that. He loves me and his chil­dren. He is not a per­son not to call, or to stay out for days with­out telling me some­thing. I know some­thing is wrong.

I do not want to think the worst,” she said.

She added, “Every­time I lis­ten to the news and I hear a body show up I think it is him.”

She said Per­sad-Be­har­ry’s fam­i­ly al­so made a re­port on Sun­day.

She said, “I just want him to come home. If he has a way to con­tact me. I want him to come home., I am miss­ing him. I just want him to come home to his fam­i­ly. Be safe and he back with his fam­i­ly.”

Ren Gopeesingh, of the hunters group “Hard Ground Get Soft “ said they were con­tact­ed on Mon­day night to help search for the men.

“From that we stat­ed search­ing. We don’t have any clues. The hunters search and res­cue team are do­ing search­ing dif­fer­ent ar­eas. This is our pas­sion. To help and as­sist any fam­i­ly mem­bers.”

We were in Pe­nal Rock Road ear­li­er on, but we don’t want to let it out our cur­rent lo­ca­tion. We are try­ing to be pro­fes­sion­al. He said the group which was al­so in­volved in the search for An­drea Bharat said, “We have a pos­i­tive men­tal­i­ty that we are look­ing for a liv­ing per­son, who may be trapped or in a sit­u­a­tion.

We don’t want neg­a­tive vibes.” Gopeesing said.
