The presidential commission on unresolved murders and disappearances on Monday appealed for public assistance in locating two suspects in the October 2012 murder of lawmaker Dr Afrasheem Ali.
The inquiry commission shared grainy video footage of a man waiting on a motorbike and taking off when a second man arrives. It was a surveillance shift change near Afrasheem’s house in Malé, the commission confirmed in response to tweets.
The public was urged to share information about the two men via phone or email.
Dr Afrasheem, a moderate religious scholar, was stabbed to death at the stairwell of his home on the night of October 1, 2012.
