"Essex Police confirmed that Oaveed Rahman, 26, pleaded guilty at Basildon Crown Court on Monday to one count of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. It is suggested the home was being advertised as a rescue centre. The charges follow an investigation launched last May when officers, alongside the RSPCA and Basildon Council, discovered 37 deceased dogs during a visit to a property in Crays Hill, Billericay."
"I know this investigation, and the issues it revolves around, has caused a significant amount of concern within our local community. We understand the strong feelings of the local community, and people from further afield, who want answers. Rahman's treatment of the dogs in his care was abhorrent and he defrauded members of his own community into giving him money to look after them."
Oaveed Rahman, 26, pleaded guilty at Basildon Crown Court to one count of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and 11 counts of fraud by false representation. Officers working with the RSPCA and Basildon Council discovered 37 deceased dogs at a property in Crays Hill, Billericay after an investigation launched last May. Rahman admitted cruelty involving 21 dogs and a cat and allegedly advertised the home as a rescue centre while defrauding community members who paid him to care for animals. Rahman has been on remand since arrest and will be sentenced on February 20, facing a real prospect of imprisonment.
