Lashandy Studor is a mother in despair. Her son, Cheston Collins, has been missing for four days and she just wants him to come home. She made that plea on Tuesday as she led a search party in Bridgetown. Studor and Collis’ younger brother, Creston Hinds, have appealed for their loved one to return home.
“Cheston, I am just pleading for you to come home.”
That was the desperate cry on Tuesday from Lashandy Studor, the distraught mother of 15-year-old Cheston Augustine Collis, of Diamond Valley, St Philip, who has been missing since last Friday.
The St Leonard’s Boys’ Secondary student was last seen around 5:30 a.m. that day wearing his school uniform and carrying a black and white haversack.
Studor led a group of around 35 people, including family members and friends, to Golden Square Freedom Square in The City around 5:30 p.m. to step up the search for the student.
The group, divided into teams, distributed flyers with Cheston’s photo, seeking the public’s help to look out for the teenager.
Posters bearing the image of 15-year-old Cheston Collis were posted at several locations on Tuesday evening. (HG)
Studor, who was unable to speak without being overcome with emotion, only managed to appeal directly to her son.
“Cheston, I am in the island, I am begging you. Anyone that is holding my son against his own will, please, please, please, please, let my son come home safely,” she pleaded.
A police description of the missing boy stated that Cheston is five inches, seven feet tall, slim, walks with an erect appearance and has a pleasant manner. He wears glasses and his hair is plaited in cornrows.
Anyone who knows Cheston’s whereabouts is asked to contact the District ‘C’ Police Station at 416-8200, Police Emergency at 211, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIPS (8477), or any police station. (SD)
