Police on Tuesday, pledged to bring justice to slain local blogger and activist Yameen Rasheed.
Based on the swift progress of the investigation, police in a statement expressed confidence in capturing the culprits behind the gruesome murder of Yameen.
"We pledge to bring all those who were involved in such a ruthless crime to justice" the statement read.
The statement comes after Avas found that four more suspects had been taken into custody taking the total to six arrests in connection to the case.
Police had earlier arrested two suspects and slapped travel bans on several other people believed to be connected to the gruesome murder.
Yameen's murder has left the entire nation – especially active social media users, who Yameen was a close ally to, shaken by the news.
According to Yameen’s family, he was stabbed over 16 times in the neck, head and even the face at around 3am in his own home’s stairwell.
Police last week had sent the forensic evidence abroad to be analyzed by foreign experts.
The move comes as the victim's family has urged the police and the government to seek foreign aid in the investigation.
The police identified suspects involved in the murder through a series of CCTV footage and had officially announced a manhunt.
