Dubai: Dubai Police are seeking the public's assistance in identifying an African woman whose body was found in a parking lot in the Al Muteena area.
Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina, deputy chief of Dubai Police, earlier said the body was found by a passerby about a week ago and from the initial forensic examination it looked like a case of murder.
According to a police report, the woman dressed in African attire was in her forties with average height, thick curly hair and dark skin and was barefoot.
The body did not yield any documents and the woman's identity and method of murder are still under investigation, said a Dubai Police source.
The body was found between two cars, said the police official.
According to Colonel Dr Mohammad Nasser Abdul Razouqi, director of Al Muraqqabat police station, no one has claimed the body or filed a missing person report on the African woman.
The police are seeking the public's assistance in identifying the person from the photo of the body they have released.
Any helpful information may be given at the following numbers: Operations room: 999 or 04 609 5555. Al Muraqqabat Police Station: 04 2660 555.
Meanwhile, investigations regarding a man's body found in the Umm Al Rumool area in Dubai on Tuesday are also continuing. According to the criminal investigation department, the body was found near a four-wheel-drive vehicle warehouse in a badly decomposed state.
The body was found wrapped in a plastic bag.
Elsewhere, a police patrol team recently found the body of a UAE national in a vehicle in Satwa.
As the police approached the vehicle, they saw the body and detected the smell of alcohol, said a source. The police sent the body to the General Department of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy. The police declined to comment on the matter on Sunday.
