Police have released one man and a minor arrested in connection with the murder of Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) MP and religious scholar Dr Afrasheem Ali.
Local newspapers have identified the man released as Ali Hashim ‘Smith’. Minivan News understands that a 17 year old boy was also released last week, on condition that he not talk about the police investigation or face rearrest.
The Criminal Court extended the pretrial detention period of the suspects arrested in the Dr Afrasheem’s murder case.
Afrasheem was killed on October 1. His wife discovered the body lying on the staircase of their home.
