Boyfriend 'killed woman after romantic evening'

Recommended Posts

Dubai: A few hours after a woman celebrated Valentine's Day with her boyfriend her body was found dumped in a manhole in Al Nahda.

 

S.SH, a 31-year-old Indian waiter at Dubai International Airport, has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend following a dispute over Dh200 he had lent her.

 

The Dubai Court of First Instance is looking into the case of S.SH, who is suspected of murdering H.H,. his Myanmarese girlfriend, after an evening together in Al Mamzar Park.

 

"I gave her a gift while we were celebrating Valentine's Day at Mamzar Park and then I took her back home. Once we reached there we got into an argument and I demanded my money back but things went out of control and we started a fight," S.SH said, according to Public Prosecution records.

 

S.SH reportedly pushed his girlfriend to the ground and strangled her. In order to hide his crime he dragged the body into a manhole in the same neighbourhood and dumped her there and closed it with a plastic cover. But while he was dumping her in the hole her jeans stayed in his hands. He found Dh300 in its pocket, which he took, the prosecution said.

 

However, in the first court hearing yesterday, S.SH revoked his confession and pleaded not guilty in front of the judge. The court session was postponed to August 30 to appoint a lawyer for the suspect.

 

The body of H.H. was found on the morning of February 22 by a construction worker and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) immediately cordoned off the area.

 

The worker who found the body had earlier told Gulf News: "I first saw her legs pointing outwards and her head trapped inside. It was horrific and I just can't believe what I saw."

 

The CID detained S.SH after investigations revealed that he was the last person to be seen with the victim. S.SH and H.H met through work as they both worked as serving staff in a restaurant at the airport.

 

In an earlier interview with Gulf News, a roommate of H.H. had described her as "a beautiful, young, petite woman who was kind, loving and friendly - especially to her Myanmarese roommates".

 

According to the roommate, she and H.H. had come to Dubai together in September 2008.
