Three Indian construction workers pleaded guilty Thursday to charges raised over the death of an eight-year-old girl who was hit by a cement bag.
A fourth Indian worker and two Maldivians from the construction company pleaded not guilty, according to media reports of the preliminary hearing.
Judge Ali Rasheed Hussain decided to sentence the three Indian men next week and proceed to trial with the other defendants.
Eight-year-old Rawshan Jian, the daughter of two Bangladeshi doctors working in the Maldives, died of severe injuries after she was hit by the cement bag that fell from Maafannu Nalahiya Manzil, a 10-storey building under construction in Malé by the W Construction company.
