– 1 in custody
Two teenage sisters of Enmore, East Coast Demerara (ECD) – 18-year-old Nimoutie Hiralall (aka Nikita) and 17-year-old Tresha Hiralall (aka Alia) – who had gone missing from their parents’ home on the night of Wednesday last, have been found.
On the night of their disappearance, the girls were reportedly playing dominoes with their brother, Alex Harilall, who was called away to run an errand for their mother. Upon his return, he discovered the teens had disappeared, and duly informed his parents. The parents, Chandanie Hiralall (aka Shanta) and Deoraj Hiralall (aka Sunil), called the homes of neighbours and other relatives, but no one had seen the girls. The teens reportedly have no cellular phones, so their parents had no way to contact them.
A report was subsequently made at the Enmore Police Station after the search for the teens had proved futile.
Police officers found the girls on Friday last at Annandale, East Coast Demerara (ECD). They were reportedly being detained against their will, and Police have confirmed that a male suspect is in custody.
The Guyana Times however understands that the younger teen had previously been found at the home of her alleged boyfriend who resides in Annandale. She had allegedly run away for two days, and it was only after someone had reported seeing her that she was found and returned home.
Investigators are said to be questioning the suspect.
