A secret witness on Wednesday identified three of the prime suspects charged over the murder of liberal blogger Yameen Rasheed and placed them at the crime scene.
Yameen Rasheed, a satirist and IT professional, was stabbed to death in the stairwell of his apartment building in the early hours of April 23, 2017.
Testifying via an audio link, the witness recalled hearing screams and seeing two men exit the building between 2:45am and 3:00am.
“I was in that area at the time it happened that night. I went near the house when I heard screaming,” said the witness, whose voice was altered to avoid identification.
