Public Works Minister Juan Edghill yesterday announced the suspension of the search for three Noble House Seafoods fishermen who went missing off the East Coast on February 19.
He made the announcement at a meeting with family members. He told them that there had been no substantial leads from the searches.
Edghill could not be reached by Stabroek News for comment but a report from the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported him as saying “at this point, I do not know what else I can do in terms of search. It is a tough decision but we would have to suspend the search and go into a new phase of being on the alert while we continue to traverse the areas praying that we find something.”
