The Prosecutor General (PG)’s Office today pressed criminal charges against three persons accused of murdering 61 year-old Hussain Mohamed after taking him hostage and robbing him on Hoarafushi in Haa Alifu Atoll.
Hussain, a prominent businessman known as ‘Hussainbe’, was found dead inside an abandoned house in September last year.
The PG’s lawyer told the judge that the three of them stole more than Rf 100,000 and US$1000 in cash but the three denied the charges, according to local media.
Police at the time said they believed that year-old Hussain Mohamed may have been murdered.
