The rel­a­tives of a miss­ing man are plead­ing for help in find­ing him. Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day, An­tho­ny Hen­wood, the old­er broth­er of Mar­lon Hen­wood, said the 56-year-old was last seen alive on Car­ni­val Sat­ur­day morn­ing in San Fer­nan­do. It was al­leged that he was beat­en by strangers near a fast-food restau­rant.

The el­der Hen­wood, who lives in Cana­da, said he was al­so told that his broth­er was tak­en to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal, where he re­mained be­fore be­ing dis­charged on Car­ni­val Mon­day.

He said there were claims Hen­wood was seen in San Fer­nan­do and Mara­bel­la, but de­spite this, he was yet to be found.

The broth­er said Hen­wood, who has dual Cana­di­an/Trinida­di­an cit­i­zen­ship, re­turned to T&T in April 2024 and was left in the care of their moth­er, Lin­da Hen­wood at the fam­i­ly’s Siparia home.

He said his broth­er suf­fered from a de­vel­op­men­tal dis­abil­i­ty and a speech im­ped­i­ment, which made com­mu­ni­ca­tion dif­fi­cult.

“He doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t drink, he doesn’t do drugs or any­thing like that, he’s just at the un­der­stand­ing of a five-year-old.

“He goes out all the time. He on­ly stays in Siparia, he nev­er ven­tures out of Siparia.”

The el­der broth­er said Hen­wood was known by the taxi dri­vers in the area.

Any­one with in­for­ma­tion on Hen­wood’s lo­ca­tion has been asked to con­tact the near­est po­lice sta­tion or 999.
