The Dubai Court of First Instance convicted S.S. on Sunday of assaulting R.K. and kicking him on his head twice, causing his death. The accused pleaded not guilty citing self-defence. He contended before the court that he did not intend to kill the victim, who had started the fight.
Presiding Judge Mohammad Jamal said the accused will be deported after the completion of his punishment. An Indian safety and security assistant supervisor at the accommodation said when he returned to their room, he saw the accused and the victim drinking alcohol with other men. Sunday’s ruling remains subject to appeal within 15 days. (IANS)
