Dubai // Two men who stabbed another to death in a drunken brawl at a labour camp have been sentenced to ten years in prison.

JA, 24 and SR, 37, from India, murdered their compatriot RP on June 1 last year at the camp in Sonapur, Al Muhaisnah, by stabbing him in the back and leg with a knife.

The stabbing was revenge for a fight over money earlier in the day in which one of the killers was hurt.

The pair were drunk at the time and fled the scene but were arrested the next day.

The Criminal Court found them guilty on charges of murder and illegally consuming alcohol.

They will be deported after serving their prison term.
