Police have released a 36 year-old Maldivian man and 33 year-old Thai woman from custody, after they were arrested last week on charges of premarital sex.
Police Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam said the two resort staff were released because police had concluded their investigation and there was no reason to hold them in detention.
‘’We discussed the matter with the Prosecutor General and we were advised to release them from detention as the investigation was concluded,’’ Shiyam said. ‘’There were no other charges to place against them.’’
Both individuals were staff members working at Herethera Resort in Addu Atoll.
