Man kills dad with fire extinguisher

An 18-year-old American of Arab origin killed his father at his office in Sharjah then knelt down near the body and kissed him.

When his uncle came in, the boy looked at him, stood up and wept before he handed him a fire extinguisher and asked him to hit him, as he did to his father.

He told his father’s brother that he used that extinguisher and a knife to murder his father inside his office and asked his uncle to now kill him.

In court, the victim’s brother said the killer had good relationship with his mother and the family and that all family members were shocked and still did not know why he killed his father.

A policeman who arrested the defendant told court that he “was not behaving normally” and that he handed himself over to the police.

“His uncle said he found his brother lying in a pool of blood in his office. The victim’s son was crying and kissing his father,” 'Al Bayan' daily said, adding that the judge adjourned hearings to September 5.
