Accordingly, police patrols and the National Ambulance moved to the scene of the incident. Initial examination revealed that 7 people attacked 3 brothers with sticks and knives as a result of a financial dispute over Dhs600, which the attackers demanded from the victims.

A verbal altercation took place between the disputants that developed into an assault that led to the death of one of the brothers and serious injury to another who was transferred to Al Qassimi Hospital, while the attackers fled.

The search and investigation operations and the collection of forensic evidence from the crime scene resulted in the identification of the perpetrators of the crime.
