The Maldives police have released photos of two men they suspect to be involved in the brutal murder of outspoken blogger Yameen Rasheed, and called for public assistance to apprehend them.
However, they did not name or provide additional information about the suspects.
Two of the grainy photos were captured from a CCTV camera inside the stairway to Yameen’s building, where his body was found on Sunday with more than a dozen stab wounds, and a third was from a camera located outside the building.
Vowing to bring the killers to justice, Assistant Commissioner of Police Abdulla Nawaz said: “We have now seen those responsible for this murder, and in order to apprehend them, we, the police want to work with the public, and apprehend the perpetrators and successfully investigate the case.”
