The fatal stabbing of Nadheem Abdul Rahman was a revenge killing arising from a feud between two groups, police said Wednesday.
Nadheem was stabbed to death by masked assailants in late July, with his murder and that of Mohamed Anas coming amid a spike in violent crimes in Malé that led to a manhunt for 34 suspects.
Chief Station Inspector Mohamed Samih from the new major crime department told the press that Nadeem’s murder took place as part of a series of killings and as “revenge stemming from a feud between two groups.”
He said the suspects in Nadheem’s murder rode their motorcycles shortly after 6 pm towards Terminal Cafe, where he was attacked with a kitchen knife.
