A 34-year-old farmworker died instantly on Sunday after he landed under the wheels of a trailer on Farm Radio in the Kalkfeld area. 

The Namibian Police Force spokesperson in the Otjozondjupa Region, Inspector Maureen Mbeha, told Nampa on Monday that the deceased was identified by relatives as Hinamwene Shonena.

Shonena, who is an Angolan national, was being transported in the trailer attached to a tractor along with nine other farmworkers while on their way to put out a veld fire in the vicinity, said Mbeha.

So far, no foul play is suspected, and a culpable homicide docket has been opened at the Kalkfeld Police Station. 

Police investigations continue.
