The family of the young woman who fell from the ninth floor of a Male’ house states arrangements have been completed to transfer her to Malaysia for further treatment.
21-year-old Mariyam Yumnu was found injured on the rooftop of a warehouse in the Henveiru district at around 07:23 am on Friday, April 18. According to the police, their investigation uncovered that she fell from a skylight on the ninth-floor stairwell of the adjacent building, H. Fentenoy, but that there was no evidence of foul play.
Yumnu sustained serious injuries in the fall. She was initially treated on a ventilator but was later reported to be breathing on her own. However, her condition remains serious and she is being treated in the ICU of Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH).
The public continues to express deep concern over her health condition, while young people have been staging nightly protests, demanding justice for Yumnu.
Amidst this, Yumnu’s family held a conference call with the media tonight where they shared updates regarding Yumnu’s treatment.
The media was briefed by Moomin Maumoon, her brother-in-law, who has been granted power of attorney to speak to the media on behalf of Yumnu’s family.
Her current condition was not disclosed to the media. However, Moomin said arrangements have been completed to transfer her to Malaysia for further treatment.
In this regard, Moomin stated that all necessary procedures from the National Social Protection Agency (NSPA) have been completed. He added that the government is actively working on arranging a chartered flight and emphasized that the family should be ready to depart at any moment — even as soon as tomorrow.
He noted cooperation from the government in this matter, although not at the speed desired by the family.
But before Yumnu went to Fenetoy, the group of nine were at Ma. Maandhooge Dhekunuge for a party, possibly with drugs and alcohol.
They are:
Raudh Ahmed Zilal, 21
Izdhiyaan Mohamed Maumoon, 28
Aishath Layaaly Iqbal, 22
Yoosuf Ahmed Akram, 22
Yoosuf Yassar Abdul Ghafoor, 28
Aminath Junaina Jamsheed, 24
Hussain Hamees Ali, 28
Ijaz Jaiz, 24
CCTV footage shows four of them, including Yumnu and Raudh, leaving the house at around 03:40am and going to a house located in front of STELCO in Ameenee Magu at around 04:00am. They are seen exiting the second house around 10 minutes later. Yumnu and Raudh, the former of whom was barefoot, were then seen at around 04:15am entering H. Fentenoy, a nearby building located in Buruzu Magu, from where she fell.
While Raudh, who was with Yumnu at Fentenoy when she fell, was arrested under a court order at 18:20pm on Thursday evening, there is a travel ban order against all individuals who were at the party.
Until Thursday, the Police had declined to identify anyone other than the victim. 
They also made no arrests, and their search had been limited to Fentenoy, and not the other two houses. Moreover, travel ban order had initially been imposed against only Raudh.
According to police, Raudh and Yumnu had tried to enter the terrace of the Fentenoy, which was locked. They were then seen on CCTV getting intimate in the stairwell. Raudh is also seen taking off his t-shirt at some point and giving it to Yumnu to wear.
Police said that camera footage later appears to show them looking for each other.
However, the police said that there weren’t any cameras on the ninth floor – from where the Yumnu fell. One of the clips screened by police shows Raudh on the stairs on the eighth floor at around 04:25am – which is the moment the police believe she fell.
He was seen searching for Yumnu throughout the building, including the outside through a skylight. He entered and exited the building multiple times, looking both inside the building and outside in the street, before he left around 20 minutes later.
Responding to speculation that Yumnu wouldn’t have landed where she did if she had fallen from the skylight, Shujau said that investigators had established that the spot where she was found is consistent with where a person would fall if they fell from the ninth-floor skylight.
