The State had charged three minors with first degree murder which had been denied by the accused. The third minor was acquitted of the charges over a lack of evidence. However, all three have now reached the age of eighteen. A Juvenile Court official said the two were convicted based on witness statements, phone call recordings and CCTV footage. All 26 heirs of the victim had earlier asked the court for the death penalty. The death sentence for the two is the first in the history of the Juvenile Court. Muheeth was murdered last February by a gang of people who assumed he was someone else. The convicts will have 90 days to appeal the death sentence at the High Court. Meanwhile, the State has also filed charges at the criminal court against Ali Mushahfau of Sultan Villa Seenu Atoll Maradhoo, Muhujath Ahmed Naasih of Abulagee Ge, Gaaf Dhaal Atoll Gahdhoo and Mohamed Maimoon of Zaithoonige, Lhaviyani Naifaru, for the murder of Bobby. The trial at the Criminal Court is still ongoing.
