One of two missing Berbice fishermen found dead

The body of 17-year-old Vishal Parmanand, a fisherman from Lot 23 Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice, was discovered on the foreshore of Kendalls Village, East Coast Berbice, after being reported missing on April 8, 2025.

The discovery was made by a fellow fisherman on Friday, who promptly alerted Parmanand’s relatives and the police.

Authorities quickly responded, accompanied by the victim’s father, Mohit Parmanand, 54, and brother, Rohan Parmanand, 30, both from Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice.

According to reports, Parmanand’s body was found motionless and in an advanced state of decomposition, dressed in the same multicoloured short pants and pink T-shirt he was wearing at the time he went missing.

The remains have been transported to Baileys Funeral Home. A post-mortem examination is expected to be done.
