Kamilawattie Mohipot were awaiting the arrival of their young son from
work when he met his demise.

“I see a car come right up to he and just pick he up pitching him in
the air and drive away…I get up, but I didn’t see he so meh start
call for he but I didn’t get no answer. So I start walk up the road
there I see an object a good distance away and meh run run till me

foot break and he had a big cut on his belly, his ribs them bruk up”.

“After I called out [for] assistance nobody didn’t come out, so I run home
for my vehicle to drive to take him to the hospital, but by the time I
returned my father died”.
