Several suspects arrested over the brutal murder of 25-year-old Mohamed Anas have been remanded in custody, the Maldives police have said.
The 12 suspects, who include several minors, were brought before the criminal and juvenile courts on Monday, a day after their arrest in the capital Malé.
The courts ruled that the suspects must remain in custody for up to ten days, a police spokesman said on Wednesday.
President Abdulla Yameen said Anas was killed in a case of mistaken identity.
