The UAE’s top court overturned a death sentence against three men convicted of murdering another man after raping him.

The Federal Supreme Court (FSC) found that the sentence issued by the court of appeals was flawed and ordered a retrial of the three defendants.

A court of first instance had sentenced the three to death after finding them guilty of raping and killing the victim.

A court of appeals issued the same verdict, prompting the three to appeal with the FSC, which overturned the sentence.

Newspapers did not identify the killers or the victim nor did they mention where in the UAE the crime took place.
