A 26-year old male and 20 year-old-female have reportedly been arrested by police in connection with the discovery of a five month-old foetus found buried on a beach on the island of Maradhoo Feydhoo in Seenu Atoll yesterday.
Local media has announced that the two suspects, reported to be a married couple, were presently being held in custody.
Police discovered the foetus buried on a beach on Maradhoo Feydhoo after local witnesses reported a motorist acting suspiciously in the area on Friday evening, according to local newspaper Haveeru.
Police Spokesperson Sub-Inspector Hassan Haneef was not responding to calls at the time of press.
