A 30-year-old Sri Lankan woman, Hiranya Kumudumali de Alwis, has been charged by the Prosecutor General's Office with murder, endangering the health of a child, and concealing a death after her newborn baby was found dead in a landfill on Dhigurah Island on 3 December. She was apprehended at Velana International Airport and faces over 28 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
She now faces over 28 years in prison if found guilty on all charges.
