As many as three Asian nationals were sent to court on charges of fatally stabbing a man and seriously injuring another during a violent brawl in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Industrial Area 1, after a dispute over immoral services.
According to Dubai Police, two of the suspects were driving around the city, seeking homosexual services.
When they approached two men in Jebel Ali Industrial Area 1, an altercation took place between them. This led to the suspects chasing the two victims with their car. One of the victims called a friend for help, asking him to meet them near a Pakistani restaurant.
When both parties gathered in a sandy area near the restaurant, a fight with knives broke out, resulting in the death of one who sustained multiple stab wounds. The other victim suffered serious injuries after being stabbed in the chest and abdomen. The restaurant owner called the police telling them two men were lying in pool of blood motionless in the area.
Police patrols, CID officers, crime scene experts, and forensic teams responded to the scene to find the deceased who was transferred to the forensic department for further investigation, while the injured man was hospitalised.
Dubai Police launched an immediate manhunt, arresting the three suspects within 24 hours. On being interrogated, they confessed to their crime. The case then was referred to Dubai Public Prosecution, where the suspects were charged with murder and assault.
