Sohaila Ahmed, Staff Reporter

A  21-year-old Asian garage worker was arrested and referred to criminal court for the premeditated murder of his European employer in Dubai.

Official records indicate that the workshop’s workers found the European owner stabbed to death inside his office and immediately called police.

Suspicions fell on the defendant as he was the only one who had a huge argument with the owner regarding his leave.

Apparently, the defendant had been fighting with the victim as he wanted to travel to his home country and the victim refused his request.

The victim furiously fired the defendant after several arguments between them, and the angry victim decided to take revenge.

The angry defendant headed back to garage and began to assault the victim; he used a hammer and a knife to repeatedly stab the victim in the head, neck, and stomach.

The victim was left bleeding to death, while the defendant fled the scene. 

Upon investigations, police managed to identify the location of the defendant, who was roaming around his country’s consulate in hope to get help in traveling back to it.

He was successfully apprehended, and is now facing premeditated murder charges.
