A 24-year-old Pakistani watchman convicted of stabbing a Filipino woman to death in Dubai in 2016 has lost his bid to reduce his punishment after the Appeal Court upheld his life sentence.
In February 2016, the Pakistani watchman was mopping a corridor in an apartment building at Dubai International City when he got into a heated argument with a Filipino woman after she kicked the bucket the man was using, Gulf News reported.
The Pakistani told the Filipina, who was living with her Indian boyfriend at the building, to remain in her apartment because he was cleaning the corridor. The Filipina yelled at him and kicked his bucket.
Following a heated argument, the man returned to the Filipina’s apartment with a fruit knife and a screwdriver. He claimed he wanted to check the fire alarm and forced his way into the flat.
The man repeatedly stabbed the Filipina in the stomach until she fell to the floor, using the screwdriver after his knife broke. After stabbing her 66 times, the man realized the woman was still breathing, so he grabbed a fish tank and smashed it on her head, killing her.
The Filipina’s boyfriend found her body when he returned home and called the police. Officers arrested the Pakistani after noticing injuries on the watchman’s face and body.
In August 2016, the Dubai Court of First Instance found the Pakistani guilty of premeditated killing. He was given a life sentence, which is normally 25 years in the United Arab Emirates.
The watchman filed an appeal to have his jail term reduced and state prosecutors also filed an appeal, seeking capital punishment for the man.
On Wednesday, the court dismissed the appeals and upheld the original life sentence. The man will be deported after serving his jail term.
25 yrs then set free ok fine when he dies lucifer/satan will welcome him
Life sentence ,but 25 years after he will be deforted,? ? ?
Always be careful not to let them inside your apartment.
You should not trust anyone especially Male…..
Must be death penalty… Not only 25 yrs.imprisonment… Then deport… Go back to his country…. Give the right justice….
Must be execute
Sorry mga kabayan, pero na-upheld nga yung life sentence, which means na makukulong siya habang-buhay. Medyo mali lang yung last sentence na "He will be deported after serving his sentence." Pero puwede pa rin siyang ma-deport pag namatay na siya sa loob ng bilangguan!
Life sentence daw at katumbas ng 25 years na kulong sa Dubai….. at kung natapos niya yung Hatol ma deport na siya
Hindi sya makukulong habang buhay kasi 25 years lang ang equivalent ng life sentence sa dubai. 49 laya na sya. Wag nyo namn patayin agad. Tama po yung last sentences.
Tama, mkkwe rin sya sa pakistan @least nbyran nya ang knyang ginawa. Sa akn lng ano hnd nmn aqo nkmpo sa ibang lahi.

I doubt na may kayabangan rin ung kababayan natin. Kc di naman hahantung sa brutal o patayin sya Kung di sya nakapagsalita ng di maganda sa Pakistani.. Minsan kc mad maraming mayayabang na kababayan sa ibang bansa. Feeling di sila naka apak sa lupa.sorry for my words but it’s true. Ibebenta ka ng kababayan MO pag nsa ibang bansa ka lalo na first time mo at sila mga beterana na .
