Relatives of a 33-year-old Barrackpore Farmer are tonight struggling to come to terms with his brutal murder.

They described the victim as someone who was hardworking, family oriented and full of life, who lived well with everyone he met.

So why would anyone want him dead?

Reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh visited his parents on Wednesday and tells us more.

00:00You know, when I reach there, when I come there, see the man lying down there, but he's no blood.
00:22With an overwhelming sense of grief, parents of 33-year-old Kamal Mohamed tried to make sense of why someone
00:31would want to kill the youngest of their four children.
00:34When I went and see him, I couldn't be there. I started bawling. I can't understand why they shoot him.
00:43I can't understand why. Because he never did leave the body. He didn't keep yelling.
00:48Kamal, a farmer and father of two young children, ages four and six, was fatally shot while working on a
00:57parcel of land with his older brother, of Manoha Trace, Roshad Road, Barakpur, around midday on Tuesday.
01:24Kamal was shot in the head. He was taken to hospital, but pronounced dead soon after.
01:30His mother described her youngest child as someone who didn't drink alcohol, didn't lime at bars, didn't smoke, and whose
01:39life revolved around his family, eating healthy and getting fit at home.
01:44She says Kamal works in the family's concrete business. But since his older brother was given permission to cultivate a
01:52nearby piece of land, they've both been hard at work planting pumpkins.
01:57But the family remains baffled over his murder.
02:01He didn't deserve to be like that. If they didn't go into the building, they want the produce, they want
02:06the land, they didn't have to do that. They could not take it and leave the child alone.
02:11The bicycle, believed to be the one used by the killer, was found abandoned not far away from the crime
02:18scene.
02:19Investigators are yet to determine a motive for the killing.
