Muheeth murder: Verdicts against three minors to be announced next month

The trial to announce verdicts against the three minors suspected of killing Abdul Muheeth has been scheduled for 2 May 2013 by the Juvenile Court.

The Juvenile Court said that the State and the defendants presented their summary statements today at the final session of the trial.

The court said that one of the suspects is aged 18, while the other two are aged 19.

Muheeth was stabbed at around 1:50 am on Sunday, 19 February 2012, while he was sitting on a motorcycle on the blind alley opposite Ministry of Finance.

The State has also charged three more suspects - Muhujath Ahmed Nasih, 19, Mohamed Maimoon, 20, and Ali Mushaffau, 21 - with first degree murder.

The trials against them have not yet been concluded.

The police have said that Muheeth was stabbed by mistake; he was not the intended target of the attack.
