A couple discovered dead in their bed were buried in the same grave on Monday in the presence of scores of family members and well-wishers. The cause of their mysterious death is yet to be determined.
The bodies of Qasim Shahid, 47, and his wife Razeena Ibrahim, 42, was found Sunday by their six-year-old daughter in their rented fifth floor apartment in Maafannu ward of Malé.
Razeena’s sister, Rizna Ibrahim, opened the couple’s locked bedroom door with a spare key and sent their daughter in to wake them up when they failed to come out of their room by noon, according to their landlord Ahmed Shafeeu.
When Rizna could not revive her sister, she called other relatives and the police.
