DUBAI // An Algerian man who murdered a Chinese man and stole more than Dh1 million from him has failed in his appeal against a death sentence
The Court of Appeal heard there was conclusive evidence to show that the murder was premeditated as he had been monitoring his victim’s movements for three days before committing the crime.
On the day of the murder, he entered the Chinese man's building armed with a knife and wooden stick and attacked him in the lift, reported Aletihad, the sister newspaper of The National.
He then stabbed the Chinese man twice, killing him instantly, before running away with the victim’s briefcase, which contained Dh1.02 million in cash.
