Missing Mabaruma pensioner feared dead

Four months after the disappearance of her 85-year-old father, Elaine Domingo has lost hope.

“I know deep down inside that my father is no longer alive and all we want is justice for him,” Domingo told Stabroek News during a recent interview.

Her father, Eustace Marcellino, of Mabaruma, was reported missing on April 3, 2017, leaving behind numerous unanswered questions, including about the role that a family member might have played in the elderly man’s disappearance.

Domingo had told Stabroek News that she had received a call from her sister, Shaun, informing her that the man had been missing for three days. She further noted that Shaun, who lived with their father, claimed that on the day their father went missing, he went into the backdam. However, Domingo noted that although her father went into the backdam in times past, he no longer did so since he was “up in age” and preferred to remain at home.
