Richard Sanchara, the 28-year-old Montrose, East Coast Demerara vendor, who disappeared sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning while at sea, was picked up by another boat at about 1:30 pm on Tuesday.
He was home last evening after reporting to the police. His four crew members, who were taken into custody after making a report were released. His brother-in-law, Anil Chetram – who was with him on the boat, said that Sanchara had not yet related how he ended up in the sea. He, however, said that at about 1:30 pm on Tuesday, a fishing boat had picked up Sanchara, who was floating in the water.
After returning late Wednesday night, he reported to the police and also had a medical check-up done at a hospital. Relatives had told this newspaper that it was the first time Sanchara called ‘Peter’ or ‘Pledge’ had gone to sea.
