Two “potential suspects involved in the murder” of liberal blogger Yameen Rasheed have been arrested, the police said in a statement Wednesday afternoon, shortly after the victim’s family sued the police for negligence.
“Through this arrest and several leads uncovered by the investigation team, the Maldives Police Service is confident that the investigation into this case can be concluded successfully in the coming days,” the police said.
The police are also “working closely with international partners and laboratories in European and ASEAN states to analyse the physical and digital evidence collected in the case.”
The statement went on to urge the public to “please refrain from taking any action to change the focus of the investigation or spreading false information that many conflict with serving justice for Mr Yameen Rasheed and his family.”
