The deceased has been identified as Dwayne Quacy Robertson, of Lot 41 Trotman Street, Golden Grove Market Road. He was the father of six children. His body was discovered at the Nabaclis Side-line Dam, hidden in high grass. Around 06:00 hours, his family was alerted that his remains were found.

Robertson was last seen last Sunday evening, and his family made an official missing person’s report on Monday at the Cove and John Police Station. His relatives, shocked at the discovery, believe that his body may have been dumped at the location since they frequently pass through that route, which is also commonly used by residents. His sister, Tamica Glasgow, tearfully recounted to Kaieteur News the last time she saw her brother. She said Robertson was acting strangely when she returned home from church on Sunday. “I tried talking to him and he was talking as though he was going mad,” she explained. Later that night, they learned he had fallen at a shop and hit his head, but since he appeared fine afterward, they did not think much of it. Around midnight, he asked their younger sister to accompany him to buy ice-cream, but since shops were closed, she gave him money instead. “She was sitting at home waiting for him; we didn’t see him come back afterwards,” Glasgow said.

Last Monday, the family began searching for him. “We keep asking people if they see him and they say no. So, we are thinking that something is not right. But persons say that they saw him heading up to the sea wall, she we searched there and keep searching for him. Somebody else call and say they saw him in Ann’s Grove and we took two vehicles and went to search for him but we didn’t find him,” the distraught sister explained. She stressed that the spot where Robertson’s body was eventually found could have easily been noticed during earlier searches.  (Kaieteur News)
