A woman found her hus­band dead in their un­fin­ished house in Princes Town af­ter he failed to pick up their son from school on Mon­day.

While po­lice be­lieve Ron­nie Ho­sein may have been killed as a re­sult of a dis­pute, they did not want to dis­close any more de­tails on the pos­si­ble mo­tive.

Ho­sein, 45, was an elec­tri­cal and in­stru­men­ta­tion tech­ni­cian at a com­pa­ny in Point Lisas. 

His wife, Amer­li­ta Mc Ken­na-Ho­sein, told po­lice that around 7.10 am on Mon­day, she left him at their home in Princes Town and went to work.

She last spoke with him on his cell­phone around 9 am. How­ev­er, around 4.20 pm, her son’s teacher called her be­cause her hus­band had not picked him up from school.

She tried call­ing him with­out suc­cess and went to her sis­ter-in-law’s home in search of him. Around 5.15 pm, Mc Ken­na-Ho­sein and her sis­ter-in-law went to Ba­boolal Trace, Garth Road, where she and her hus­band have a two-sto­ry house un­der con­struc­tion. She saw her hus­band’s Hon­da Civic parked on the road­way with a bunch of keys on the front seat.

Up­on en­ter­ing the house, they saw him ly­ing on the ground in the bath­room area on the ground floor in a pool of blood. It is be­lieved that he was stabbed, but the po­lice are await­ing the re­sults of an au­top­sy. When Guardian Me­dia vis­it­ed the cou­ple’s home and the mur­der scene, none of his rel­a­tives were present. 

Ex­press­ing shock over his mur­der, a res­i­dent said the area was peace­ful and every­one was re­spect­ful, friend­ly and po­lite.

In a brief tele­phone in­ter­view, his wife told Guardian Me­dia that her hus­band was a lov­ing per­son who sac­ri­ficed every­thing for his fam­i­ly. She had no idea why he was mur­dered. Ho­sein was a fa­ther of two.
