Indian travels to Dubai to kill over sister's photos

Dubai Police has arrested an Indian citizen who allegedly killed DM, a 30 year-old compatriot, in Dubai, while trying to leave UAE from Dubai Airport’s Terminal 3.

Dubai Police’ operations room had received information that an accountant working in an apartment building in Jafiliya had been killed. A stranger had come to meet him and taken him outside the building in front of the building’s staff.

Minutes later, the building’s staff saw the stranger running away from the place and their colleague lying bleeding from different parts of his body. The building’s watchman noticed that the killer’s hand was bleeding profusely as he fled the place in a white car. The dead man had been stabbed in the abdomen and face. The watchman was unable to note down the number of the car.

Police distributed the killer’s picture found in the building’s surveillance cameras to all the country’s exit points. Police also checked with hospitals and pharmacies since the killer had been injured.

An immigration employee in Dubai Airport’s Terminal 3 and a witness to the incident recognised the killer who was trying to leave for Kerala on a first class ticket. The arrested man confessed to the murder.

According to him, the victim was working with his sister in Kerala and he had posted her personal pictures on his facebook site. He had complained to the local police to stop the victim from misusing his sister’s pictures. Since the police could not stop the victim, he decided to take revenge on the victim by killing him, he said.
