Eight days af­ter the body of Ameer Dy­lon Ho­sein was found float­ing in the Cara­po Riv­er on Jan­u­ary 27, po­lice of­fi­cers con­tin­ue the search for his killers.

As part of the search, which took them to Pi­ar­co on Mon­day, of­fi­cers were forced to shoot one of three dogs that at­tacked them as they at­tempt­ed to en­ter a pri­vate prop­er­ty in search of three peo­ple of in­ter­est.

Thir­ty-one-year-old Ho­sein of Fred­er­ick Set­tle­ment, Ca­roni, was last seen on Jan­u­ary 17 at Love Lane, Cara­po.

He was re­port­ed miss­ing one day lat­er af­ter he failed to re­turn from his fe­male com­pan­ion’s house, where the 34-year-old woman lived with her 16-year-old son and 42-year-old broth­er.

The burnt-out re­mains of Ho­sein’s or­ange Nis­san Almera were found on Jan­u­ary 23 in some bush­es off O’Meara Road South.

Ho­sein was a self-em­ployed farmer.

Act­ing on in­for­ma­tion, of­fi­cers went to Kel­ly Trace, Pi­ar­co, around 6.50 pm on Feb­ru­ary 3, where three dogs at­tacked them as they en­tered a prop­er­ty to search for the woman and her son who were al­leged­ly at the lo­ca­tion.

One of the of­fi­cers, when at­tacked, fired a sin­gle shot in the di­rec­tion of the an­i­mals.

As the dogs ran off, one of them was seen limp­ing, bleed­ing from a gun­shot wound to the right front leg.

No one was found at the house.

Mean­while, 42-year-old Richard Ram­sam­my of Fred­er­ick Set­tle­ment, Ca­roni, has since ap­peared in court charged with Ho­sein’s mur­der.

He re­mains in cus­tody.
