The Dubai Prosecution has started investigating two Africans accused by Dubai Police of premeditated killing a compatriot friend over personal disputes.
The two were arrested on Saturday, September 25, and were referred from Dubai Police to the prosecution.
Yousuf Fulath, Head of Deira Prosecution, said one of the two suspects has confessed to premeditated killing of the victim by stabbing him with a knife in his belly. The second accused has denied premediated murder and said he fought with the victim who was then stabbed by the first accused.
Fulath said the accused told prosecutor Khalid Al Amiri that they fought with the victim prior to committing the crime at a prostitution and alcohol selling den as they were kicked out of the flat.
He said that the case is still pending investigation for hearing testimonies of witnesses and policemen involved in the arrest, receiving the necessary technical and forensic reports.
