Dubai: Two Indian men were charged in a Dubai court on Monday after they allegedly kicked a co-worker to death in a drunken state.
According to a report in Khaleej Times, the two men, both in their 40s, and all three of them were carpenters.
Other workers spotted the two men assaulting the victim. The duo attempted to flee, but one of them was caught, and handed over to the police. The other accused was arrested from his accommodation.
“At 1:30am we were informed about an attack incident at Dubai Investment Park. We met two workers there and they said they were heading to their accommodation at 11:30 am on February 13 when they saw the two accused kicking the victim in the head. The two witnesses got close to where the accused stood in a sandy yard and saw the victim lying down bleeding from the head. They smelled like alcohol,” a police officer familiar with the case reportedly said.
The victim was taken to a hospital where he was operated upon, but succumbed to his injuries.
The man died due to excessive bleeding from a wound on the head caused by a blunt object, doctors said.
The case was reported on February 14 and the next hearing will be on October 20.
