The murderer has been identified as Glin Ambro, a relative of hers, who stabbed her in Abu Dhabi's Musaffah and stole Dh 10,000.

After cutting off her legs, hands and head in his home, he rented a car and took them to Dubai and to Ajman, where he set fire to the body parts in a deserted area. He then returned to his apartment and dumped his crime tools in the garbage.
