Relatives of abducted teacher Keston Mahabir spent Good Friday praying for his safe return.
It’s been five days since Mahabir, 26, was snatched outside his Pitiman Trace, Mc Bean Village, Couva, home. No ransom has been demanded and relatives said they were still unsure as to why Mahabir was snatched.
In an interview yesterday, sister Diane Mahabir said they were hoping to get word on his whereabouts. “We are all praying right now. We want him back home,” Diane wept.
Police searched a forested area on Holy Thursday, after getting information that he was left stranded in the Central Range.
Mahabir was the owner of Mahabir’s Educational Institute.
He was abducted around 11.50 am on Monday. Police said two women, posing as if they were officials from the Education Ministry, came to Mahabir’s home to discuss registration of his school. Four people—three women and a man—who were detained by police in connection with the crime remained in police custody yesterday.
Anyone with information on Mahabir’s whereabouts can contact Crime Stoppers at 800 TIPS.
