An 18-year-old student allegedly attempted to kill a friend following a brawl in an indoor playing area, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.
A fight broke between YKK, Iraqi, and AHB, Lebanese student, during which the later cursed the mother of the accused.
After fighting in the playroom, the accused went outside. One of the witnesses came to the victim and told him that YKK is willing to sort out the problem outside the playing area and asked him to go out to meet YKK. AHB went out and saw the accused standing next to the parking lot. He then stepped towards him, pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed him three times after asking him why he cursed his mother. The accused was angry when the victim told him that it was in revenge for cursing his mother two days before.
The accused stabbed AHB in his belly, arm and chest close to the heart before running away, according to the records. When two of their friends identified as Sameer and Mohammed, came out of the hall and saw the victim on the ground stained with blood, the accused ran away. Sameer called for an ambulance to rush the victim to the hospital.
Second Lieutenant Ahmad Eid testified that the accused confessed to buying the knife about half an hour before committing the crime and threw it in a garbage bin after stabbing the victim.
“The knife was not found even two days had passed after the crime,” he testified.
The court adjourned the case to June 6.
