murder of Kurdish sniper
A reward of up to £10,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of men suspected of murdering a Kurdish dad
Hemwand Ali Hussain was found dead in a property in Charterhouse Street, off Oxford Road, Hartlepool, on Sunday, September 15.
Mr Hussain served with the Kurdish Regional Governorate’s Peshmerga military forces in Northern Iraq.
He was a skilled Kurdish sniper and joined the front line in the global battle against the Islamic State militant group.
Cleveland Police began a murder probe and then released CCTV images of three men, believed to be Albanian, detectives want to speak to in connection with the death of the 30-year-old.
Police believe they may have been in the Teesside area at the time of the alleged killing.
As the investigation continues, charity Crimestoppers has offered a hefty reward for information.
In a statement, they said: "We are offering a reward of up to £10,000 to anyone who contacts us with information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for the murder of Hemwand Ali Hussain in Hartlepool."
Detectives have information to suggest the first man they’re looking for was a passenger in a silver Mercedes E Class.
His picture has already been circulated across the north as he is thought to have links with Bolton, Sheffield and Leeds.
He’s in his early 40s with very short or shaved dark hair and dark facial hair.
Images of two further men detectives want to speak to have been released.
The men pictured are also thought to have potential links with the Edgware, Primrose Hill and Kilburn areas of London.
The first man appears to be aged in his 20s and is pictured in a light coloured sweatshirt with dark bands around the arms and the logo ‘Fila’.
He is wearing dark utility-style trousers and light trainers.
He has a medium, muscular build and short black hair which is longer on top.
The second man is pictured wearing a light or grey t-shirt and jogging bottoms and trainers with light and dark markings.
He also appears to be in his 20s or early 30s with a medium, muscular build.
