A drunk Pakistani man who assaulted his Indian roommate and unintentionally caused his death has been sentenced to seven years in jail by a Court in Dubai.
A deep stab to the heart was the established cause of death, reported Khaleej Times.
The 37-year-old Pakistani defendant admitted in front of the court that he had consumed alcohol prior to the incident.
However, he claimed that he did not intend to kill the victim.
“He was intoxicated and unruly. He then went to his room and turned the lights on,” the prosecutor claimed.
He (the defendant) was asked to leave the room, the victim assaulted him as the latter threatened to beat the workers up when he comes back to the residence.
“This prompted the defendant to take a knife out of his baggage and stab the victim, then flee the scene,” the foreman said.
