His younger sister-in-law Lourdes Dias (wife of younger brother Kennedy) who used to wash the clothes of her brother in-law Bismarque, identified the vest as “most definitely his”. In fact when she received a call from Kennedy Afonso, who was one the three who saw the blood-stained vest, she asked him to check if the brand of the vest was “Jockey”. Afonso then went close to vest and saw that it was indeed a jockey vest. Father Bismarque always wore vests of the same Jockey brand. The spot where the vest was found inside out (meaning it was yanked off the body and thrown) on the bundh, east of the hut of the edge of the river (known as Babal Manos) towards what is known as Tonca (of St Estevam). This was the road which was used by the two boys Darren and the other 17-year-old on the morning of November 6, to go home, when Father Bismarque had “gone missing” and found the next day in the river, close to the banks of the hut (Baban Manos). According to locals, the vest was found in direction exactly opposite to where Fr Bismarque’s body was found, though along the same stretch of the river and not too far. (The police estimate it to be about 50 metres). Kennedy Afonso, who is also the President of the Goans for Goa organisation, explained his findings. He said, “Today on a tip, that some vehicles were seen on the road, that leads to Babal Manos from Tonca, I went to investigate. On the way we found the path and also discovered tyre marks of two vehicles, which led us straight up to the point where the bundh from Tonca, leads to Babal Manos. First we found a spot, where someone had tried to hide something by dumping loose sand. When we sifted though this, we found that the ground was soft and the mud had some marks which looked blood stains. A little further we found a white banian (vest) covered with what also looked like blood stains. We immediately called up Bismarque’s home and inquired if he wore any vests and Lourdes answered that he wore a Jockey vest. On closer examination we acertained that it was a Jockey vest. So we told her to come and do a physical examination and confirm it, which she eventually did.” Close to the blood-stained vest, were two empty cans of Kingfisher draught beer, one right next to it and the other about ten metres away, which the Old Goa police refused to touch and collect as a crucial sample. According to Manjunath Bhandare, some food packets were also found lying close to the hut where the boys and Father Bismarque supposedly drank, perhaps an hour before he met his end. Herald was unable to independently confirm the presence of food packets though. Old Goa PI Krishna Sinari, who refused to speak to Herald claiming he was busy, inspite of two requests will have to answer a lot of questions which Herald has raised in the adjoining report. But most importantly, he needs to look at the family of Father Bismarque, his brothers, their wives and his aged mother and tell them how Father Bismarque could have accidently drowned to death when his blood-stained vest was lying in the opposite direction. ======= http://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/THE-%E2%80%98BLOODY%E2%80%99-TRUTH-STARES-AT-GOA-POLICE/95803.html THE ‘BLOODY’ TRUTH STARES AT GOA POLICE Old Goa police is either suppressing facts or is incompetent; stretch where vest found was obviously not searched, boys key to solving the case dealt with kid gloves By Team Herald | 18 Nov, 2015, 08:06AM IST A- A+ Share on facebook<http://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/THE-%E2%80%98BLOODY%E2%80%99-TRUTH-STARES-AT-GOA-POLICE/95803.html#>Share on twitter<http://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/THE-%E2%80%98BLOODY%E2%80%99-TRUTH-STARES-AT-GOA-POLICE/95803.html#>Share on google_plusone_share<http://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/THE-%E2%80%98BLOODY%E2%80%99-TRUTH-STARES-AT-GOA-POLICE/95803.html#>Share on pinterest_share<http://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/THE-%E2%80%98BLOODY%E2%80%99-TRUTH-STARES-AT-GOA-POLICE/95803.html#>More Sharing Services<http://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/THE-%E2%80%98BLOODY%E2%80%99-TRUTH-STARES-AT-GOA-POLICE/95803.html#><http://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/THE-%E2%80%98BLOODY%E2%80%99-TRUTH-STARES-AT-GOA-POLICE/95803.html#>5 ST ESTEVAM: It’s actually out there. A thing called TRUTH, an extremely complex entity for the Old Goa police, which has either been refusing to see it, or is clinging on to a lifeline of lies, to pass off Father Bismarque’s death an accident, and helped by certain sections of the media to spin this. As Mr Krishna Sinari, PI Old Goa drove his private Swift car for his investigation (where is the police jeep?) onto the St Estevam ferry to reach the island at 4.29 pm (Herald knows since the Herald reporter also parked his car next to Sinari’s on the same ferry), he was in deep thought. He was told that a vest which most certainly belonged to Father Bismarque was discovered by locals twelve days after his death, on the same road, which was used by the two boys who were seen with him. He reached the spot after a long walk through the thorny bushes at around 5 pm, a good two and half hours after he learnt of the discovery. Many theories and conclusions of this being an accident were about to be seriously challenged. As the Investigating Officer, who in his report, had dismissed this as an accidental death by drowning, he needs to explain this criminal negligence in not being able to spot such crucial bits of evidence lying close to the spot where the body of the victim, Father Bismarque, was found. The manner in which the police have dealt with Darren the 18-year-old and the 17-year-old who were apparently drinking with him in the early evening and then late at night at the Babal manos, is suspicious. The two who hold the key to cracking this case have been questioned but not treated as suspects, according to the last seen formula. Darren’s absence from his house for two days prior to Father Bismarque’s death and the route taken by the boys the morning after (when Father Bismarque was already dead) has not been probed. It is obvious that the police did not patrol or toothcomb this route, where the blood-stained vest identified as Father Bismarque’s was found. Even after the vest was recovered, the police team left the spot without even bothering to pick up the beer cans lying next to the vest, which could easily have been consumed by someone who could have had a scuffle with Father Bismarque. It is important to realise that this is a desolate spot and not a thoroughfare and the cans wouldn’t have arrived by chance. When Herald politely asked PI Sinari if he could speak a few words on his findings, he replied curtly, “I am busy”. If he indeed had been, he would have found the blood-stained vest lying on the bundh, in 12 days and not the locals. He would have pressed a sniffer dog into service and cordoned the area and he would have interrogated the two boys, who are key to unlocking this case. He should now be very busy responding to these points.
