A suspect charged over the abduction of journalist Ahmed Rilwan drove a red car in Hulhumalé around the time of the kidnapping, a court heard Monday.
Two suspects – Aalif Rauf and Mohamed Nooradeen – are charged in connection with the abduction on August 8, 2014.
Prosecutors allege that Maldives Independent journalist Rilwan was taken by the pair and that a red car owned by Aalif was used in the abduction.
The prosecution witness told the court he was with Nooradheen from 8pm to 3am on the night of the abduction and that he dropped the suspect off at home. He said the red car was not used that night and remained parked on the street.
