Criminal Court of the Maldives has sentenced the two people convicted of killing Abdul Muheeth (Bobby) to death.

Mohammed Maimoon and Muhujath Ahmed Nasih were convicted of attacking Muheeth in February 2012 and killing him. The court stated that Muheeth died after he was attacked by a group of people and Muhujath and Maimoon were among those attacked Muheeth. 

The judges noted that, in Islamic Shariah the death penalty can be implemented if a person dies after getting attacked with sharp objects. 

The Criminal Court sentenced both of them to death. The state charged another person in the case but he was exonerated by the court two weeks ago.
