Dubai: A Gulf diplomat's son is being questioned for the premeditated murder of a 20-year-old Emirati, Dubai Public Prosecution sources said on Wednesday.

The victim, who was stabbed while trespassing into the suspect's house, fled the scene to a relative's house; the relatives rushed the 20-year old to hospital, but he succumbed to the injuries before admission, said sources close to the investigation.
