The death of Zakiyya Moosa, who was found with serious neck injuries in her home last year, has been officially ruled as a suicide following a virtual autopsy conducted by experts from India’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
Zakiyya, 50, was discovered dead in her home in Holhudhoo on September 10, 2024, with a knife found nearby and multiple injuries to her neck. The unusual nature of her death led to widespread public concern and demands for a thorough and transparent investigation.
The autopsy, based on CT scans, MRIs, and crime scene analysis, revealed neck injuries that severed nerves but did not reach the bone. The report confirmed the absence of signs typical of foul play, supporting the conclusion that Zakiya's death was a suicide.
The investigation involved consultations with forensic experts from the US and the UK, who also concluded the same. Despite questions surrounding the case, the findings indicate that the cause of death was consistent with suicide.
