Two Indian men have just been charged with murder for cutting the throat of a fellow Indian while inside his car parked at Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 2.
The two Indian men, aged 31 and 23, are reported to have waited for two hours for their victim to finish his work at the airport on November 13th 2008. They followed him to his car in the airport parking lot and one man jumped into the passenger seat where he restrained the victim while the other assailant sat behind him, pulling his head back by the hair and cutting his throat.
Prosecution records indicated that the murder had been committed over money that was allegedly owed by the victim to the assailants. The accused were reported to have followed their victim for a full two months before finally killing him.
The next hearing of the case is scheduled to take place on August 24th at the Dubai Criminal court.
A specialist prosecution office has been proposed for Dubai airport, prompted by the increase in criminal activity. Between January 1st and June 30th 2007 there were a total of 3,234 reported cases and this figure increased to 3,452 during the same period in 2008.
It is expected that the specialist airport prosecution will improve the speed of legal processes resulting from crimes detected at the airport. It is expected to reduce workload and improve litigation services. Most drug trafficking cases involved people swallowing narcontics concealed in capsules.
It is thought that increased vigilance along with severe sentencing have contributed to the sharp decline in drug related cases at the airport.Reports have indicated that the number of narcotics related cases has fallen by 30% in the first half of 2009. Most of the drug trafficking cases (95%) were found to be for small amounts, brought into the country for personal use.
