A handcuffed corpse with injuries was found in the sea near the island of Fohthela in Vaavu Atoll yesterday, police have said.
Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam told Minivan News today that the body appeared to have been in the water “for a long time” and was found handcuffed.
As the man was not circumcised and based on appearance, complexion and size, said Shiyam, police believed it was a foreigner.
“We believe he might have been killed because of the injuries, and the body is being kept at the mortuary [in the Galolhu cemetery] for investigation,” he said.
