Zakiyya's death: Police prosecution for negligence in probe under discussion

The National Integrity Commission (NIC) is considering legal action against police for negligence in investigating the death of Zakiyya Moosa, whose body was found with severe injuries in N. Holhudhoo 11 months ago. The NIC filed the case with the Duty Prosecution on Thursday. Prosecutor General's Office media officer Ahmed Shafeeu said the case is under study and will proceed if sufficient evidence exists. Zakiyya was found dead on September 10, 2024. Home Minister Ali Ihusaan and police visited Holhudhoo during Ramadan; Ihusaan assured autopsies in all suspicious deaths, but the family felt this was already protocol and accused police of destroying evidence. The FBI assisted the investigation. President Mohamed Muizzu visited Holhudhoo in July and met the family, promising a full investigation. Zakiyya's brother Hassan Waheed expressed concerns about the lack of arrests and unanswered questions.
