The criminal court on Monday heard testimony from a witness who heard screams near journalist Ahmed Rilwan’s apartment building in Hulhumalé the night he was abducted.
The secret prosecution witness, whose voice was altered for anonymity, said he heard screaming around 2 am on August 8, 2014, local media reported, but he assumed a fight was happening and did not look.
He did not see the defendants, Alif Rauf and Mohamed Nooradeen, who are standing trial on terrorism charges over the journalist’s abduction.
Unlike other terror suspects, the pair remains free during the trial.
