Farmer’s charred remains found

Grieving mother Guridai Bipram, 72, of Navet Village, Rio Claro had to be restrained as undertakers removed her son’s remains.

Guridai said she had not seen her second child in the last two years. An autopsy will today clarify if Bipram’s death was accidental or murder.

According to reports, a week ago, Bipram who was a father of two of Guayaguayare Road, was involved in an altercation with another man over a bag of dasheen and threats were made on his life. A police report stated that at about 8.30 am yesterday, officers from Mayaro Fire Station under Fire Sub Station Officer Stewart responded to a report of a fire. Officers of the Rio Claro Police Station also visited the scene. Bipram’s body was discovered among the ruins.

Yesterday, Bipram’s weeping girlfriend Anjanie Balgobin expressed shock over his death as she told reporters she left him at his home on Sunday at 5 pm and he was in a happy mood. “He was good, just yesterday we ate together and I leave him just after 5 pm to go home,” Balgobin said.

“Is someone who do him that wickedness. Last week, he went to drop a bag of dasheen in the market and had an altercation with a man who hit him (Bipram) near his eye.” Balgobin said the man threatened to kill Bipram.

The threat was reported to the Rio Claro Police and officers warned the other man about making these threats. Balgobin said Bipram was extremely careful and never left open flames in his wooden house.
