The Court of Appeal has upheld the ruling of a criminal court sentencing an African man to life imprisonment for killing an expatriate teacher.
The defendant used to work as a security guard in the building where the victim lived.
According to local Arabic daily Al Sharq, the defendant was accused of attacking the woman, strangling her with a wire and then stabbing her several times until she died. The incident took place in November 2012.
The case details revealed that the defendant had gone to the woman’s apartment claiming that he wanted to help her with some issues, but attempted to sexually assault her and she tried to put up a resistance. Eventually, he killed her. In court, the man admitted to killing the teacher as she used to mistreat him. The defendant was also subjected to a psychiatric test.
