The criminal court has acquitted the step-grandson of involvement in the January 2012 murder of Ali Hassan ‘Ayyube’, an alleged sorcerer from the island of Kudahuvadhoo in Dhaalu Atoll.
A judge ruled Monday that there was not enough evidence to prove charges of accessory to murder against Ibrahim Waseem.
Waseem was among five people, including three minors, charged over the brutal killing.
Two of the three minors were found guilty and sentenced to death in March 2013. The third minor was acquitted.
