Jobless man gets 7 years for stabbing compatriot

The Dubai Criminal Court awarded a jobless Pakistani seven years in jail followed by deportation for assaulting a compatriot with a knife and murdering him.

The Dubai Prosecution filed premeditated murder accusation against NKN, 22; but later found out that it was not a premeditated murder and ruled it out.

The convict claimed that he attacked the victim who used to sexually abuse him.
 
KKY, 23, worker, Pakistani, was also charged of hiding and helping a criminal to run away from the authorities by offering him a shelter and the Court awarded him three years in jail term.
 
According to records, MKS, 20, Pakistani, driver, testified that at around 10.30pm on January 19, he received a call from the victim SKG telling that he has been stabbed by NKN in his belly twice and that the room has been locked from outside.
 
“I rushed to his accommodation which is 5 minutes away from mine. I opened the door, and found the victim lying with his head up and holding his belly. He could hardly name NKN. I called the police and he was rushed to the hospital. In the room in front of the door, a broken knife was on the ground. Next day SKG passed away. He was a religious person and I do not believe that he sexually assaulted the accused,” he testified.
 
Second Lieutenant Hazza Hassan testified that he checked the crime scene. “The victim was rushed in an ambulance and in the room I saw a basket filled with vegetables being cut. The rest of the room was organised and there were no traces of fight. I did not see the knife been used in the crime.”
 
Questioning the victim on the next day in the hospital, he said that the accused was chopping vegetables when a fight broke between them; the accused stabbed him with the knife he was working with.
 
He had been advising the accused not to work in the company as he is an absconder and the last time was a day before the crime and on the day of the crime the two had a fight and all of a sudden the accused stabbed him. The victim’s condition did not allow talking in details about those fights, testified the officer.
 
The victim’s brother testified that he knew about the crime from MKS. “While my brother was in the hospital, he told me that NKN stabbed him following a notice he made to him related to the work and specifically the use of a sprinkling tube. As well, the accused was upset with my brother who did not allow more people to share the room with them. My brother told me that on the day of the crime, my brother was lying in the floor because of stomach pain and the accused asked him to show him whereabouts the pain. As he showed his belly, the accused stabbed him twice.”
 
The victim’s brother also denied the sexual abuse claims made by the accused against his brother. “My brother used to lead people in prayers and to preach the Quran among people. People knows how honest, religious and a good person he was.”
 
First Lieutenant Taleb Mohammed testified that investigation lead that KKY is hiding the accused in his accommodation in Al Ruwais in Abu Dhabi and that he is coming to Dubai to pick up staff of the accused.
 
“As KKY was arrested, he confessed to hiding the accused in his cousin’s accommodation in Al Rusais. He denied knowing about the crime from the very beginning and said that he knew lately just when he was asked by him to bring him his stuff from Dubai.
 
The murderer was also arrested and he confessed to stabbing the victim. He claimed that he stabbed the victim in self-defense when he started sodomising him,” he testified.
 
Forensic reported that the cause of the death was one of the two stabs the victim sustained one in the right side of his belly and the other was in the left side. The right side stab was deep and reached the cavity causing internal bleeding that led to his death. Forensic also reported that the accused had been sodomised repeatedly. There is a also a wound in his hand that could be defensive.
 
Sergent Jasim Ismaeel testified that the accused claimed that the victim asked him for sodomy but as he refused he offered him money to allow him that, and pulled his wallet to seduce him, but the accused refused. The victim then brought out a knife to force him.

The accused claimed that as he saw another knife he grabbed it and stabbed the victim then ran away to the accommodation of a friend, then to Sharjah and then called KKY to stay with him.
 
The accused claimed that he did not tell KKY about the crime he committed, but he later told him. He also denied being sodomised at any time in his life.
 
AWM, 42, Pakistani driver testified that he stays in the same accommodation with his two friend, the victim and the accused.
 
“The victim is very religious and he used to lead us in the prayers and read the Quran and preach religion. I know about one knife in the room which has an adjacent kitchen. I do not know if there is another one,” he testified.
 
KRM, 24, Pakistani worker who stays in Sharjah testified that the accused was his friend since a long time.
 
“He came to my accommodation on Friday at around 10pm and I did not notice anything abnormal. I shook hands with him and there was no wound in his hand. He told me that he has just returned from his leave. He stayed for 15 minutes and left. He told me that he will have lunch with me on the next day. He came and we went to the prayer and left me after that,” he testified.
 
MIM, 32, Pakistani worker who was sought by the accused immediately after the crime assured that he did not notice any wound in the accused hand or blood on his dress.
