Citing the island’s health center, MPS revealed that the tourist was already dead when brought to the center.

The police institution went on to reveal that the tourist was staying at a guesthouse in Rasdhoo.

I’m somewhat related to the victim. We need media assistance as these are not isolated incidents. Seven days ago, a similar event occurred in the exact same way, which is too much of a coincidence to ignore. This has been happening for many years, and it’s time for our voices to be heard.
