President Yameen: Those found guilty in Ibthihaal

President Abdulla Yameen has said that all parties found guilty in the death of the three-year-old boy in Vaavu Rakeedhoo yesterday, will receive strict punishment.

The President gave this message via the presenter at the Final Match of People’s Cup at Galolhu Stadium last night.

A minute of silence was also observed at the event in relation to Mohamed Ibthihaal’s death.

President of Rakeedhoo Council Adam Saamee told Sun Online yesterday that Ibthihaal’s mother had been accused of abuse earlier as well, and given advice on multiple occasions by Ministry of Law and Gender and the police.

Prosecutor General Muhthaz Fahmy said that an investigation was under way to determine negligence on the part of any any government institution in relation to this case, and any person accused of negligence would be prosecuted.

Muhthaz said that it was ‘unacceptable’ that the child was left in the care of the mother after the authorities were informed of such severe abuse.
