The state has pressed charges against a minor arrested in connection with the murder of Dr Afrasheem Ali, who was murdered in October last year.
The state told the court the minor had given a false statement to police when he was summoned to police during the investigation of Dr Afrasheem’s murder, and that the minor had also given false statement to the Juvenile Court.
The minor told the court that he would respond to the charges in the presence a lawyer during the next hearing, according to local media.
Spokesperson for the Juvenile Court Zaeema Nasheed did not respond to Minivan News at time of press.
