The family of Yameen Rasheed have pleaded with the police to disclose information about the ongoing investigation into the brutal killing of the liberal blogger.
According to the family, the police have not privately shared any information since May 9, despite claiming to have arrested the two men who committed the murder in the early hours of April 23.
“Our family have tried repeatedly to contact the police. We are concerned that the police have not responded to phone calls and messages,” the family said in a statement Tuesday.
“The past 37 days have been full of sorrow and heartache for our family. We spend every day in the hope that the people who committed this heinous act, those who planned it, and those who funded it as well as their motive will be revealed to us.”
