The presiding judge of the Court of Appeals adjourned on Sunday the trial of Jordanian Nidal Eissa Abdullah, convicted of kidnapping and murder of 8-year-old Obaida, to December 18, as his mental evaluation report was not yet released from a local hospital.

The judge urged the public prosecution to follow up on the report until the next hearing.
In the hearing on Sunday, 48-year-old Abdullah, requested the judge bench to be allowed to speak to his defence lawyer claiming he was not allowed to use the phone in prison. He requested that his lawyer calls him.

Advocate Ali Musabbeh, who was recently assigned by the appellate court to represent the convict, earlier requested that his client be referred to hospital to examine his mental sanity and assess how responsible and aware of his actions he was at the time he committed the crime.
Abdullah earlier admitted to charges of murder and consuming of alcohol.

He denied, however, charges of sexually assaulting the victim, Obaida, also from Jordan, and kidnapping him from outside his parents' house in Sharjah.
In August, a bench of the Dubai Court of First Instance unanimously sentenced Abdullah to death after convicting him of sexually assaulting and killing the child.
