The family of a teenager who was stabbed to death in the capital have asked people to stop sharing a “painful” video of the assault.
Ibrahim Agil was attacked near the Maldives Monetary Authority building in Malé’s northern waterfront, a short distance from the police and military headquarters.
A video showing Agil after the stabbing was posted on social media. He can be seen on the ground fighting for his life while people look on, according to local media.
On Saturday his sister used social media to ask people not to share the “painful video” of her brother struggling for his last breath.
