A Lebanese salesman threatened to kill his ex-fiancée if she married another man, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

HM, 27, Iranian manager in a readymade garment company, decided to break her relationship with AG, 32, after a year of engagement during which time she had lent him Dh30,000 for  his father’s surgery.

“I took the decision when I found out that he had lied to me. He never told me and my parents that he is married and had children. I asked him to turn back to his family and to take care of them. For the following two years, he continued calling me and sending me SMS via WhatsApp, threatening to post my pictures with him. So I reported him to the police,” she said.

Police summoned AG and asked him to give an undertaking not to annoy his ex-fiancé. Police found out that AG had a video recording of him and her having sex and they asked him to delete that video. Police also found out that the accused had threatened her via SMSs to kill her if she did not marry him and if he sees her with another man.

The court will give its sentence on May 17.
