Nezamadeen Kalamodeen

After receiving information that a body matching the description of their missing relative was found hanging from a tree in Rosignol on Saturday afternoon, the day their relative went missing, a Black Bush Polder family ventured to Region Five yesterday morning where their worst fears were confirmed when they positively identified the body to be that of their relative, Nezamadeen Kalamodeen.

Kalamodeen also known as ‘Javid’, 37, a vendor of Yakusari North, Black Bush Polder, left home to head to the Rosignol Market on Friday with his mother and other relatives to ply their trade, as they would normally do. 

According to one of his sisters, every week the father of two travels to the market with his mother and relatives, where they would sell on Friday then spend the night at another sister’s house in Blairmont, West Bank Berbice, and then return to the market on Saturday to sell again after which they would return home.
