Man jailed for killing sister's Pinoy stalker in UAE
A United Arab Emirates court on Sunday sentenced an Indian man to 15 years in jail for fatally stabbing a Filipino hotel worker who allegedly stalked his sister and defamed her on Facebook.
The Dubai Court of First Instance found the Indian, 27, guilty of luring the Filipino to the hotel basement and stabbing him 28 times with a fruit knife, Gulf News reported.
Presiding Judge Mohammad Jamal ordered the Indian deported after he serves his sentence, the report said.
For his part, the Indian pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Sunday’s judgement is subject to appeal within 15 days.
Earlier, prosecutors said the defendant planned to kill the Filipino for allegedly harassing and stalking his sister on Facebook.
"The number of knife wounds signified the defendant held so much ferocity inside of him and wanted to ensure the victim’s death,” the Dubai Police forensic examiner told the court.
The Indian, who was identified through surveillance camera footage in the hotel lobby and basement parking, was arrested before he could board a plane at Dubai International Airport.
Meanwhile, a Somali police corporal said the Indian admitted stabbing the Filipino, who he said harassed his sister via the Internet.
The Indian said the Filipino continued stalking his sister after he was fired from his job in India and found work in the hotel in Dubai. — BM, GMA News
