An Asian man has been arrested after a body was found at a construction site in Ras Al Khaimah.
Colonel Abdullah Ali Menkhas, director of the CID at RAK Police, said the operations room received a call reporting that a dead body had been found at a house that was under construction. Officers attended the scene and preliminary investigations revealed the body was that of a 39-year-old Asian man.
A CID team was formed and gathered information that eventually identified a 30-year-old Asian believed to be responsible for the victim’s death.
The suspect was put under surveillance until he was arrested. When confronted with the evidence against him, he told officers he knew the deceased and that there had been various conflicts between them that escalated over time. Further questioning and investigations led the suspect to confess to committing the crime.
He told officers he had led the victim to the construction site and strangled him to death with a piece of cloth. He then hid the body under a wood panel and went home.
Colonel Menkhas said that following the suspect’s confession, the case was transferred to the General Prosecution in RAK for further investigation and to complete legal procedures.
He urged members of the community to resolve any disputes peacefully to prevent such crimes that reflect negatively on society.

The five stages of early child’s play
From Dubai-based clinical psychologist Daniella Salazar:
1. Solitary Play: This is where Infants and toddlers start to play on their own without seeming to notice the people around them. This is the beginning of play.
2. Onlooker play: This occurs where the toddler enjoys watching other people play. There doesn’t necessarily need to be any effort to begin play. They are learning how to imitate behaviours from others. This type of play may also appear in children who are more shy and introverted.
3. Parallel Play: This generally starts when children begin playing side-by-side without any interaction. Even though they aren’t physically interacting they are paying attention to each other. This is the beginning of the desire to be with other children.
4. Associative Play: At around age four or five, children become more interested in each other than in toys and begin to interact more. In this stage children start asking questions and talking about the different activities they are engaging in. They realise they have similar goals in play such as building a tower or playing with cars.
5. Social Play: In this stage children are starting to socialise more. They begin to share ideas and follow certain rules in a game. They slowly learn the definition of teamwork. They get to engage in basic social skills and interests begin to lead social interactions.
