Brigadier Abdullah Ali Menakhas, Director of the CID, released a statement in reference to how they had decided the case was not a suicide, “The murderer set up the entire scene to mislead the police”.
Initially, it was not easy for the team to decipher the case, but once the body was sent off to the forensic section, it was later discovered that the victim was actually strangled to death by the same cloth found on him.
CID narrowed the list to two suspects
After a lot of work and a series of analysing all the small details, the CID was able to pick two suspects, from which one admitted to murdering the Asian man.
The two had gotten into an argument which resulted the suspect into knocking the victim over, strangling him to death, and laying him on his bed, making it seem as if it was a suicide.
Legal action is being taken
The murderer was referred to the public prosecution of RAK where he will be punished for his crimes.
After the case was finished, Brigadier Abdullah Ali Menakhas also said, “All business owners need to keep an eye on their workers, mainly their accommodation, to prevent such crimes, report suspicious acts, and solve their disputes in an amicable way.”
