The Criminal Court has ordered the release of 19 year-old Razzan Abdul Rahman, a suspect in Ali Shifan’s murder case, on the condition that he not go outside his house between the hours of 8:00pm and 6:00am.
His conditions also included that he not associate with groups of people, or leave Male’ without the authorisation of the court.
Media Coordinator of the Criminal Court Ahmed Mohamed Manik confirmed the verdict to local media.
According to local media outlets, the Prosecutor General’s Office has appealed the Criminal Court order at the High Court, and today a hearing was held in to the case at the court.
On April 1, a group of men stabbed Ali Shifan ‘Tholhi Palay’, 33 of Fairy Corner house in Maafannu ward, to death near West Park restaurant at about 4:15pm that day while he was on Boduthakurufaanu Magu, the outer ring road of Male’.
The victim was taken to Indira Gandi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) minutes after the attack, however the hospital pronounced him dead on arrival.
A friend of Shifan told Minivan News at the time that Shifan was having a coffee inside West Park and was attacked while he was waiting in front of the restaurant for a friend.
The source said that Shifan was married and the attack had widowed his wife.
The police sent the names of Ali Nabeeh,22, of M.Nalahiyaa Manzil, Mohamed Shaifan,18, Razzan Abdu Rahman,19, of Kaanimaage house in Thulhaadhoo island of Baa atoll, Abdul Thilmeez,20, of M.Thilmeez, Mohamed Asif,19, of Maafahi house inKurendhoo island of Lhaviyani atoll and Mohamed Mishaan Abdul Haadhy,20, of M.Silver Nest to the Prosecutor General to press charges against them for their suspected involvement in the murder.
In February 2011 Chief Judge of the Criminal Court Abdulla Mohamed also released Ibrahim Shahum Adam, a key suspect in a murder case, on the grounds that the court had not received the required cooperation from the Health Ministry.
Shahum was arrested the following month in connection with another murder case.

So we see more samah cases and the next murder is going to be blamed on MDP again? Looks like the government is getting really desperate to find ways to blame MDP for the government's inability to handle the country.

No wonder it is called the "Criminal Court"!
Who is going to be responsible for this!
There is no court or commission or government that has the power to deal with this "Criminal Court?!
I am sure if this were the "old west", this Court would have been in pieces with these so called "judges" hanging down on poles!!!!
These people are calling us to do it!
