Two Indian nationals have just been charged with premeditated murder for slitting the throat of a fellow Indian while inside his car parked at Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 2.
The accused, two indian men aged 31 and 23, waited two hours for their victim to finish his work on November 13th in 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. They had reportedly been following their victim for two months before they finally murdered him.
The next hearing of the case is scheduled to take place on August 24th at the Dubai Criminal court.
The increase in criminal activity at Dubai International Airport has prompted the proposed creation of a specialist prosecution office at the airport. There were a total of 3,234 reported cases, between January 1st and June 30th 2007, and this figure increased to 3,452 during the same period in 2008.
The specialised airport prosecution will be capable of speeding up legal procedures whenever a crime is reported at the airport. It is expected to reduce workload and improve litigation services. Apparently around 80 to 90% of drug suspects caught at the airport had hidden the drugs in capsules inside their bodies, primarily by swallowing.
It is thought that increased vigilance in cracking down on narcotics trafficking has led to the sharp drop in drug cases detected 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.
