Unknown assailants stabbed a person in the Mahchangolhi ward of Male’ last night, three days after the Deputy Head of the police’s Serious and Organized Crime Department (SOC) Inspector Abdulla Nawaz told the press that the most dangerous criminals in Male’ had been detained.
Police Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam said the victim was attacked in Nikagasmagu of Mahchangolhi ward.
”His condition was not too serious,” Shiyam said. ”It is too early to say whether it was a gang fight.”
He said two men were arrested in connection to the case.
Only last week, a 25 year-old man identified as Ahmed Mirza died after he was attacked with iron bars and other weapons while he was sitting in the children’s park in Villingili.
Mirza was attacked after he reportedly made some comments about a girl.
Last Thursday, Inspector Nawaz informed the press that nine persons police believed to be dangerous criminals were now held in detention.
The nine persons Nawaz identified were: Ibrahim Shahum, Rilwan Faruhath, Ahmed Shiruhan, Abdulla Naseer, Ahmed Shareef, Mohamed Visham, Ibrahim Abdulla, Gassan Ali and his brother Hassan Ali.
Meanwhile, the parliament has commenced work to amend the Clemency Act to execute persons sentenced to death, while the Criminal Justice Procedure Bill was also presented to the parliament at the same time and is now currently at the committee stage.
In an effort to curb the rise in gang violence, President Mohamed Nasheed has formed a Crime Prevention Committee led by former Defense Minister Ameen Faisal.
So far the committee has held meetings with the Supreme Court and almost all concerned authorities, although it has yet to announce any progress.

Good. Very Good.
Serves him right for being where he was. He should know there are psychos loose in Male. Mayor of Male has said so. So, in Male' your chances of getting stabbed is 99% now.
It like swimming is shark infested waters, and then complaining when he gets bitten.
Once again, poor English.
Believe me, whether it's Maumoon or Anni, DRP or MDP, not a single human goes inside those detainee units are coming out sane. Killing you psychologically and slowly. Innocent or not. By the time the investigation is over, call your self a mentally ill psycho.
At least try to realise the reasons behind these crimes.
There will be a day when these psychos will take care of the people who is responsible for making the youths as criminals in this country.
And I wish to see that clean up day and a crime free country.
God. Aren't we desperate now...Agree to death sentence or live with violence. What a choice!!!Black or BLACK!!. DEATH or DEATH!!!
there is currently a trend among youngsters that if their murder news is on news it makes them famous with respect among the gangsters. NGO's and media could work out campaigns that the youngsters would find cool.(not what you find cool)
We need to involve the youth in activities, these activities would teach them skills for their career.
Their parents need to be aware that whether it may be photography, music, plumbing or a rocket scientist its what they love to do.
We are not out of solutions, we are just a bunch of lazy ignorant people wasting the bucks we get from tourism.
Criticizing the government wont help, do what you can to save the people from murderers. we are only 300,000 people we already have challenges to fight, like the sea level rising and if we keep on killing our selves we could fadeout of from this world sooner, sooner than sea level rise.
creating hate havoc chaos in the society is the bread & butter for some and its just abt time to put the full stop mark. stand up for the worthy cause and rock and roll
