The Human Rights Commission of Maldives HRCM has launched an investigation into the death of a middle-aged woman on the island of Noonu Holhudhoo last year.
A woman named Zakiyya Moosa, 54, was found dead in her home last September with several stab wounds and her murder weapon nearby. Police have said that there was no visible evidence that suggests that the woman was murdered.
The HRCM said that the relatives of the victim have shared their concerns with the commission about the investigation.
It said that it was now investigating how the relevant authorities have acted in the case so far.
The Commission further said that it has received the documents and files about the case and is now researching the case files.
Earlier this year, Police revealed that they were working with the US federal investigation body FBI to solve the alleged murder of the woman who lived alone.
Police said that they have shared their findings with the FBI and that they are seeking their assistance in the investigation.
Police also said that a senior police investigation team has also reviewed the case and has visited the island of Holhudhoo to further study the case.
It added that the Police continue to investigate the case in Holhudhoo.
Protests have been staged in Holhudhoo over the lack of development in the case and the Police' failure to arrest in the case.
