AG’s office sends murder case back to Police, cites incomplete investigation

The case of the Bangladeshi man who was charged with mutilating and murdering a fellow countryman in Haa Dhaalu atoll Kulhudhuffushi last year has been sent back to the Police by the Attorney General’s Office on the grounds that the investigation was not completed. 

Shafeegul Islam, 45, who had worked with Mogul Hussain, 28, in the same shop at Moony Manzil , had been charged and arrested for the murder of Mogul after the latter’s mutilated corpse had been found discarded in the woods near the Kulhudhuffushi Football Stadium. 

When asked about the case on Thursday, the Assistant State Attorney Hussain Shameem confirmed that the “case had been sent back.” 

“It was sent back for further investigation because a lot of important information about the case had not been detailed,” he said. “So we’ve requested that those details be filled in.” 

Shameem also said that when the murder suspect had been presented to the Criminal Court’s judge to extend his custody period he had revealed some very important new information to the judge and the Police’s investigation had not delved into the newly revealed information. 

During the investigation Shafeegul Islam had confessed to having a homosexual relationship with Mogul and had also confessed to having attacked him with a deadly weapon. 

When Mogul’s mutilated body had been found near the stadium on 20 August 2007, he had been stabbed multiple times in the abdomen and his genitalia had been cut off.
