Hog-tied mom, 65, found in pond

Hosein, of Pascall Road, Piparo, was employed with Community- based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme.

Investigators said at about 8 am yesterday, a tilapia farmer visited several ponds in his garden off St John’s Road, near Brothers Road, Rio Claro, and found a body face down in of them. The hands and feet were submerged and only the back was visible.

He contacted the Rio Claro Police Station and a party of officers responded, among them Sgts Garcia and Gaddar, Cpls Ramshai and Mohammed and PC Denoon. The Eastern Division officers pulled the body, identified as Hosein, from the pond.

There were marks of violence and investigators believe Hosein may have been strangled.

A district medical officer examined the body before it was taken to the Sangre Grande Hospital.

Rio Claro investigators learned yesterday that Hosein’s son Sheik had filed a missing person’s report at Princes Town Police Station.

Hosein went to work in Princes Town on Friday and failed to return home.
