The police have destroyed forensic evidence gathered from the scene of liberal blogger Yameen Rasheed’s murder, the victim’s father has alleged.
Briefing the press Thursday about the family’s lawsuit against the police over the failure to investigate death threats sent to his son, Hussain Rasheed, 54, said his information came from “a very reliable source”.
Rasheed said he could not provide further details and urged the authorities to investigate the claim.
“This is not the first time I had such a suspicion, because even on the first day, the crime scene in our home was cleaned, washed and painted over in front of the police, I had raised that issue before,” he said.
