A Pakistani man denied that he killed a compatriot after the victim allegedly insulted his family, a court heard.
The victim was stabbed to death at the Headley Construction labour camp in Dubai on May 30, 2009 after allegedly getting into a heated argument with three Pakistani men, including the 30-year old suspect, The National reported. The victim’s body was found lying in a pool of blood.
Forensic evidence reports show he was stabbed several times and that a knife handle recovered from the suspect matched the blade found in the defendant’s possession.
The presiding judge, Hamad Abdel Latif of the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance, adjourned the case to February 8 so that the defendant could be provided with a court-appointed attorney.
