Dubai: The Criminal Investigation Department of the General Command of Sharjah Police has solved a murder case in which a man of Asian origin in his 40s was killed. Some of the victim’s body parts were found dumped in a trash can.
The perpetrator was arrested within 12 hour after identification of the victim.
A waste management company working in the emirate first alerted the police about the discovery of body parts of an unidentified person. Specialised teams from Sharjah Police then reached the spot and sifted through more than 1,500 tonnes of garbage, searching for more body parts.
The investigators managed to identify the victim as a man in his 40s, who was employed as a driver with an establishment in Sharjah.
