A technician allegedly killed his colleague by throwing a concrete block on his head following a verbal brawl, a Dubai court has heard.
The Court of First Instance was told that the 25-year-old Indian had an altercation with his colleague on March 31 and planned to kill him. He went to the rooftop of their 8-floor accommodation building in Jebel Ali and threw a concrete block on the victim's head. Another worker sustained injuries in the incident.
He has been charged with premeditated murder and assault.
During interrogation, the defendant reportedly told a policeman:
"We were at a farewell party of a coworker and we all drank alcohol. We then went to a restaurant but did not eat because I had an argument with the supervisor at the restaurant. On our way back to our accommodation, the victim blamed me for missing the dinner meal. He then pushed me and I fell down. The victim kept walking indifferently."The defendant then told the policeman that he felt like taking revenge. "I thought about it for a minute while they walked ahead. Later, I found them sitting below the building we stayed in."
"He said he would come back a few minutes later. But shortly later, a concrete block fell off the building on the victim's head and it hit my feet. As I fell, I looked up and saw the defendant on the rooftop. The latter then came down and tried to wake up the victim, who was bleeding a lot from the head."The hearing has been adjourned to September 18.
