Abu Dhabi Police detained an Asian worker suspected of strangling his mistress (an Asian house maid illegally staying in the UAE) in Bani Yas city, Abu Dhabi, because she pressured him into marrying her after she became pregnant with his child and aborting the pregnancy.
Major General, Mohammed Al Awadi Al Menhali, Director General of Police Operations at Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters, unveiled the circumstances of the incident; noting that the Criminal Investigation Department was able to uncover the mystery surrounding the crime that took place in mid-June, and to identify the suspect who had fled by land to nearby Oman.
Al Menhali explained that the suspect (M. N, 28 years old) strangled the victim (S. A, 32 years old) with his bare hands, which led to her death. Once done, he tied her hands and legs with ropes, wrapped the corpse with a blanket and plastic bags, leaving the body in a rented apartment before fleeing the country with the help of some friends.
He added that the suspect was returned to the UAE from Oman, after issuing an international arrest warrant, only to find out that noting that surrendered to the Omani authorities under the pretext of being an illegal resident with no official documents, thus requesting to be deported back to his country by the Omani authorities.
Al Menhali commended the efforts and cooperation of Omani authorities, noting that the UAE Police leadership emphasizes continuously the importance of strengthening cooperation with neighboring GCC countries and other countries in order to combat and prevent crime.
Police Operations Director of Abu Dhabi Police stated that 6 other Asian workers were arrested in Abu Dhabi, after being suspected of conniving with the prime suspect, assisting him in fleeing the country, and failing to inform the police of the incident.
Major General Al Minhali said: “The suspect confessed to his crime, attributing the reason to the claims made by the victim – who had abscond from her sponsor and was working as a house maid by the hour- pretending to have become pregnant with his child and pressing him into marrying her. Upon his refusal to marry her, she aborted the pregnancy by ingesting herbal treatments. However she repeatedly asked him to marry her, and to pay back the money he had borrowed. When he asked to postpone payment, she went to his work place and filed a verbal complaint to his employers, causing him embarrassment among his co-workers.”
Speaking of the crime, Colonel Dr. Rashid Mohammad Borshid, Director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Abu Dhabi Police conveyed the information provided by the suspect (a cleaner at a cleaning facility in Abu Dhabi), who stated that he rented a room located on the roof of a building in Bani Yas, and lured the victim -with the intention of killing her- taking advantage of her confidence, and inviting her to meet him. The suspect added that he has known the victim for 5 years and have had an illicit sexual relationship with her since then.
Colonel Borshid stated: “thanks to the landlord who informed the police of a foul smell coming out of the room, and the Criminal Investigation Department’s quick response, the crime was unveiled and analyzed, the criminal was identified and arrested. All of this was achieved following an extensive follow-up and investigation, and thorough attention to every detail, thus preventing the suspect from getting away with his crime.”
He also noted the need to resort to logic in order to resolve problems wisely, as well as refer to competent authorities. He added that verbal aggression, abuse or murder can only lead to aggravation and may lead to heinous crimes.
Colonel Borshid warned against violating the law of entry and residence of the country as well as harboring violators or inf
