It was revealed that when the victim tried to escape, the accused followed him and stabbed him several times, after which the victim collapsed, and the perpetrator fled the scene.

When the Public Prosecution questioned the accused, he admitted to the charge of the premeditated murder of a company owner of the same nationality.

He said that the victim brought him to the UAE on a tourist visa to work. He then agreed to bring workers from their country to work for the employer. An agreement was reached between them that the victim would provide visas to nine people.

The convict informed the Public Prosecution that the victim refused to complete residency procedures for the nine men and did not give them salaries for four months.
