The Fujairah Criminal Court began hearing the case of two Asians accused of deliberately killing their friend on a farm belonging to the sponsor of the first defendant and burying him in Sakamkam.
According to the case papers, the defendants lured the victim to a farm in the Sakmakm area, handcuffed him and his feet in a room, beat him and robbed him.
The defendants killed the victim by suffocation with his hands, until he died, and then buried him in a sheep farm.
The defendants denied all the charges against them: kidnapping, restricting freedom, theft, premeditated murder, and concealing the body.
The tribunal faced the defendants with their confessions in front of the police station and the Public Prosecution, and re-represent the crime in cooperation with the police and security agencies, but they denied it, adding that they did not do any of that.
Asked about the nature of the defendants' relationship with the victim, the first defendant said he knew about him while working in Dubai, while the second denied knowing the victim, noting that he had never seen him before.
The panel postponed the verdict in the case until the witnesses, three policemen, who disclosed details of the case, were summoned to face the defendants.
