An Asian was stabbed to death by his compatriot 35 times. 

Death penalty was demanded in the court for the heinous crime. 

A Dubai Police corporal and a eye witness told the court that he had seen the victim with blood stained clothes at the crime site.  

He added that the accused was hysterical and was saying in Arabic: "I killed Essa." 

The forensic report confirmed that the victim had been stabbed 35 times in the neck and chest areas. The victim also received injuries in other parts of his body when he tried defending himself. 

The brother of the victim who flew down to the UAE also spoke to the accused to understand the motive behind the killing. He did not receive any response. The accused, however, did show regret for committing the crime.
