Dubai: Police have arrested a man suspected of murdering a 62-year-old after giving him a massage in his flat.
Maj Gen Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina, Dubai Police's Deputy Commandant General, said the 26-year-old Arab suspect, M.A., is accused of murdering the 62-year-old Arab victim by hitting him on the head with a wooden stick.
He said the motive for the attack was theft. The victim's wallet, two mobile phones and some foreign currency was taken.
On April 12, Dubai Police's operations room received a report about a murder in a building located in Frij Al Murar in Naif.
CID teams found H.M. lying in a pool of blood in his bedroom, where he lived alone.
The Dubai Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) headed by Col Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri, deputy director of the department, coordinated with CID teams from various emirates to find the murderer.
Maj Gen Al Mazeina said at a press conference yesterday on May 9 a police patrol suspected an Arab man in the Al Nahda area. He was stopped and questioned by the CID. He confessed.
The suspect admitted that he met with the victim on April 10 and the victim asked him to give him a massage. There was a misunderstanding between the two and the suspect hit the victim with a wooden stick twice on his head. He then ran away from the scene.
Some of the stolen items were recovered.
Maj Gen Al Mazeina said the suspect was referred to the Public Prosecution for further investigation.
