Murdered engineer to be laid to rest today

Mohammed, 56, was shot dead at his Lilian Heights, Arima home on Monday when three men entered his yard and demanded that he and his wife hand over their licensed guns.

While there have been no arrests as yet, police from the Homicide Bureau say they are following certain leads.

They are seeking to recover surveillance footage which may assist them in identifying the killers.

The suspects are believed to have scaled a wall at the back of the house where three water tanks are located. They hid behind the tanks and waited for Mohammed, the son of former police commissioner Noor “Kenny” Mohammed, to leave the house.

As he emerged at about 5.30 am and was about to enter his car, the men approached him. He was shot once in the chest, twice behind his head and chopped on his left hand.

The killers stole his gun and then robbed his wife of hers which was in a safe in the house.
