The Juvenile Court has ruled that Ibrahim Asheer ‘Atira’ of Gahdhoo in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll is  guilty of murdering Shahudh Abdulla ‘Faudy’ on February 2, 2006.
Faudy was inside Cinamale’ flat area when a gang attacked him. He tried to flee but was hit in the head with a weapon believed to be an iron bar, fell to the ground and was beaten with iron bars and other weapons before the assailants left.
Shahudh died two days later on February 4. Asheer fled after police and an alliance of gang members began looking for him, but he was subsequently arrested.
The Juvenile Court ordered Asheer jailed for 16 years and six months and to fast for two months. He was also ordered to pay Rf133,333.33 in compensation.
