Four men wanted in connection with murder of Hartlepool dad Hemawand Ali Hussein

Father-of-two Hemawand Ali Hussein was fatally shot at a property in Hartlepool’s Charterhouse Street in September last year.

Four men have been charged with the killing and are next due to appear before the courts in October.

Qazim Marku, 24, of Maxwell Road, West Drayton, Dorian Pirija, 32, of Trillo Avenue, Bolton, Greater Manchester, Noza Saffari, 38, of Park Lane, Middlesbrough, and Xhaferi Anxhelo, 23, of Acton Street, Middlesbrough, all deny murder.

A trial – which is estimated to last up to eight weeks – is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 5 at Teesside Crown Court.

Cleveland Police has today – Friday, June 12 – released pictures of other four men, who are thought to be Albanian, and have connections with the Lancashire and Greater Manchester areas.

Intelligence suggests they are in the North West, prompting police to release the images, some of which have already been circulated before, to the public in an appeal.

Detectives want to speak to the four men in connection with Mr Hussein’s murder.

They are:

*Sajmir Dodoveci

*Daniel Kaidu – also known as Dardan

*Eugert Merizaj

*Armando Marku

The four may also be known by other names, the force added.
