The Goan community in Britain has come together to pray for the safe return of
an Indian-origin boy Jonathan Marques, who is reportedly missing since January
6.Prayer meetings have been organised in Reading and London while the local
police continue to search rivers and other areas for Jonathan.A public campaign
has been launched here to locate the 15-year-old who moved to Britain three
years ago with his parents. He, however, was reported to be unhappy with the
move and wanted to return to Goa.Over the weekend, Jonathan's parents, Menino
Marques and Arcanja Afonso Marques, led a march to retrace their boys last
known steps followed by hundreds of family, friends and well-wishers.The march
followed a mass at St Jamess Church in Fobney Road."The family are very upset
and we do not know what to do now. We are very worried and if Jonathan can hear
this, please we miss you a lot, your mummy and daddy and your sisters and
brother want to embrace you."Just come back or ring us, we want to hear your
voice, that is all," Marques said.The event was attended by people from the
Goan community from Reading, Swindon, where the Marqueses have family,
Maidenhead and London as well as Alok Sharma, the Conservative prospective
Parliamentary candidate for Reading West, who has been supporting the family in
their campaign.Speaking at the march, Sharma said, "We wanted to march together
as a community to the area where Jonathan was last seen in the hope that we may
jog someones memory so that someone may come forward with some new information.
