UAE: Two on trial for assaulting, killing colleague after quarrel
Defendants’ lawyer rule out criminal intent and argue a quarrel led to the fatal physical assault.
Two youth workers, who are of Asian origin, are facing trial at Sharjah Sharia court for the premeditated murder of their compatriot co-worker.
The investigation has revealed that the accused identified as B.S. and B.M. worked for a contracting firm and had physically assaulted their co-worker to death.
The defendants confessed to the Sharjah Police during an interrogation that the murder took place following a spur-of-the-moment quarrel, as the victim allegedly insulted the duo and used obscene language.
