The lifeless body of 20-year-old Alvin Dubarai, of Lot 65 Kilmarnock Village, Corentyne, Berbice was found pinned under the tractor he was last seen operating on Monday morning at about 07:00h.
The discovery was made by rice farmer Heera Nauth, also called “Bammer, owner of both the tractor and rice field which Dubarai was plowing. He told this publication that Dubarai appeared to be dead, and only his hands and legs were visible when he was found.
“When the thing happen I was not there; is two tractor I have, he driving one and I driving one. I was at the camp…,”Nauth said.
According to Nauth, when he arrived at Kilmarnock, Corentyne, he saw the overturned tractor and Dubarai pinned under it.
“He already dead. Then I call some of them boys from out on the road and them come down with boat, and when they see he they say that they have to call the Police, so they went and bring in the Police,” Nauth detailed.
Nauth said that when the Police arrived they had to use three tractors to remove the vehicle from off of Dubarai’s body. The body was removed from Nauth’s farm at about 16:00h.
He explained that even if persons were around at the time of the incident, it would have been difficult to save Dubarai’s life, since it took the Police about 30 minutes to remove the machine off him.
Dubarai had been working in the rice fields since the age of 15. He leaves to mourn four siblings. (Andrew Carmichael)
