Murdered after withdrawing $10,000

Confirmation that she was murdered was made during an autopsy on Ash Wednesday at the Forensic Science Centre in St James. Hosein sustained multiple head injuries.

At about 8 am on Saturday, a tilapia farmer found Hosein’s body face down in one of his ponds located off St John’s Road, near Brothers Road in Rio Claro. She had been hog-tied.

The body was subsequently fished out of the pond and identified by relatives. Hosein of Reserve Road off Pascall Road in Piparo was a mother of three and was employed with the Community-based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme (CEPEP) and also worked as a hairdresser.

She left home for work last week Friday and when she failed to return home, her son Sheik Hosein went in search of her on the assumption she may have been stranded for transportation.

His search ended at about 3 am on Saturday and a few hours later he lodged a Missing Person report at Princes Town Police Station.

Sources indicated that on Friday, Hosein withdrew three months’ worth of pension cheques, which amounted to over $10,000, from the bank.

That money remains unaccounted for. PC Gillard of the Homicide Investigations Bureau Region II is continuing investigations.
