Police have concluded the investigation into the death of police Lance Corporal Adam Haleem, who was murdered early on Monday morning on the island of Kaashidhoo in Kaafu Atoll.
In a statement issued last Thursday, police said Haleem’s alleged assailant Mohamed Samah had confessed to attacking Haleem with a knife, and had told the police how the incident occurred.
The statement said that Haleem was attacked that night while he was on his way to the Kaashidhoo Police Station to report to duty.
While he was on the way to the police station he saw Mohamed Samah on the road, who was supposed to be on house arrest. Haleem followed Samah to his house and asked Samah to get himself ready and to come with him to the police station.
