A man arrested in connection with the murder of Naeema Moosa, who was found brutally murdered in a house in N. Manadhoo in early April, has been taken to the island on Thursday.
Hassan Fawaz, 21, was arrested in Male on Monday for his alleged role in Naeema's murder. Following a court order, Fawaz was arrested and remanded in police custody for one month.
A reliable source confirmed to Atoll Times that he was taken to the island Thursday morning. He was taken to the island for further investigation by the police in the island.
It is learnt that:
-
The two men arrested by the police for their alleged role in Naeema's murder were driving in the island in a car for several hours on the night of her murder
-
Fawaz, who was arrested from Male, was the owner of the car as well as the driver of the car that night
-
He had come to the city after Naeema was found dead
-
Last week the two men arrested in the case were made to re-enact the way they were in the car that night
-
Fawaz is also expected to demonstrate the way he acted that night
-
The car is now in police custody
The police's investigation into Naeema's murder has made progress and the three accused were arrested on the basis of information received from the first person to be arrested, Ahuzam Abdul Shakoor, 23, who was taken into police custody in a drug case.
The second arrest in the case was his accomplice Abdul-Wahid Rifas, who abused substances with Ahuzam.
Later, the police recovered two knives, believed to have been used to kill Naeema, as well as the clothes they claimed to be wearing that night. According to the police, the clothes were recovered from a pit, burned and buried.
As far as it is known:
-
The police started suspecting Ahuzam as CCTV footage of the night Naeema was murdered, taken from some places in the island, showed his movements to be suspicious
-
A few days later, when he was taken to the police station for questioning in connection with the murder, suspicions were raised
-
On the third day of his detention, Ahuzam confessed to killing Naeema
-
Ahuzam narrated the next participants and the location of the weapons used to kill Naeema
