The Prosecutor General’s office has charged five men and a minor in connection with the murder of 25-year-old Mohamed Anas in late July.
Charges were raised Thursday against Usman Shareef, Ahmed Zayan, Junaih Abdulla, Hassan Mahfooz, and Simah Moosa. Earlier in the week, the PG office also filed charges against a 17-year-old at the juvenile court.
According to local media, Usman and Zayan were charged with murder under the 2010 ‘dangerous weapons’ law whilst the rest were charged with aiding and abetting.
The police also launched a manhunt for two other suspects in August. Mohamed Shaz was arrested in late September and Afrah Abdul Razzaq was arrested while hiding out in a house in Malé on October 8.
