Raud now cooperating with woman's fall probe, police say
Raud, 21, was arrested in connection with the incident, which occurred a week ago.
Raud Ahmed Zilal, who was arrested in connection with the fall of Hawwa Yumnu Rasheed from a building, is now cooperating with the investigation, police said Monday.
Raud, 21, was arrested in connection with the incident, which occurred a week ago. He was remanded in custody for five days the following Friday.
At a press conference held on Thursday, police stated that Raud had been arrested due to his lack of cooperation with the investigation. After four days in custody, police confirmed that Raud is now cooperating with investigators.
CCTV footage from H. Fentenoy shows Raud accompanying Yumnu prior to her fall. Police have seized the phones of eight individuals, including Raud, who are believed to have met with Yumnu on the night of the incident.
According to investigation documents, an argument took place between Yumnu and Raud on the night of the incident. Shortly after Yumnu fell, Raud was asked about her whereabouts and responded that he did not know, adding that she had “probably fallen.”
Authorities have yet to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident, including where, when, and how the altercation occurred and where Yumnu was prior to the fall.
