(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Â An Indian man who allegedly beat and strangled his wife to death with the help of a friend before fleeing to India several hours later, has flown back to the UAE to face authorities after months of hiding.
The Dubai Police have extradited the man who killed his wife, by strangling her, with the help of his Pakistani friend before dumping her body in the Murgam area along the Dubai-Al Ain Road.
The General Department of Criminal Investigation Director Major General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri said that the Indian suspect handed himself over following a negotiation with the Dubai Police under the supervision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Dubai Police Lt-General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim.
The department and the police managed to convince the runaway, with the help of one of his relatives, to return to the UAE and face a fair trial.
Maj-Gen Al Mansouri said that the man agreed to hand himself over for two reasons: because he trusted the UAE judicial system and because he feared for his life where he was living.
He said that the Dubai Police facilitated the man's return by issuing him a visa and facilitating legal and administrative procedures. He arrived at the Dubai International Airport on Saturday at 1am.
The police arrested the Pakistani accomplice shortly after the murder.
The police managed to identify the victim, despite a lack of evidence or documents in her possession, with family members even failing to report her missing.
The suspect travelled back to his home country on the same day the murder took place and before the woman's body was discovered.
The police managed to identify the second suspect before he had time to flee the country, and upon his arrest he confessed to the crime.
The woman's body was discovered when an Asian worker, who worked along the Dubaiâ€"Al Ain Road, informed the police that he had found a suspicious bag on the side of the road.
The police rushed to the scene and found the dead body of a woman in her 30s, who had been strangled to death.
Further investigations revealed the Mumbai resident had moved to the UAE for work with her husband, where she worked as a saleswoman, and that she had applied for leave one day before her death.
The woman's colleagues told police that she was a good woman. Her husband had worked for the same company as his father, but the man's father was shocked when he saw his daughter-in-law's dead body.
He told the police that his son always argued with the woman and that he had previously assaulted her when he was drunk, or when he was stressed.
The suspect's father also told the police that he suspected a Pakistani man, a friend of his son, had aided in the crime.
Upon confessing to the crime, the Pakistani national said that the woman's husband had killed her because he wanted to take her money. The man said that the woman had converted to Islam in order to marry her husband and had been loyal to him. She had hoped her husband would travel with her to India. However, the husband refused and continued to beat her and take her money, before planning the murder after she had received her salary.
The Pakistani accomplice said the Indian suspect had waited for his wife outside her company, before taking her home where he first fought with her and then tried to kill her.
The Pakistani man said it was at this point his friend called upon him seeking help to bury the woman in the desert, but when he arrived at the couple's home they discovered the woman was still alive so they strangled her, before tying her up and placing her in a bag.
The CCTV footage from the building showed the two suspects carrying the woman and placing her inside a car.
